White Level Settings Issue

[Yacine]

Hello, I have a question regarding the brightness settings. Before the calibration I set in the settings the white level value to 120cdm. In the first step of the measurement, I set the desired value on the monitor. The problem is now that after the calibration of the White Level according to the profile information is still only 107cdm. How can I reach 120cdm now? What am I doing wrong ?

For measuring I use a Colormunkie display.

This is expected – if you’re calibrating the whitepoint as well, you need to leave enough headroom to hit the desired target luminance.

Thank you very much for your tip. Then I will start a second calibration procedure with higher brightness values. For that I must then ignore the brightness setting at the beginning of the calibration correct?
