How long does it take to calibrate my screen with TruHu?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">Once the TruHu desktop and mobile apps are installed, it only takes 1-2 minutes to calibrate your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-6d3c3cd\" id=\"2-how-long-should-my-screen-be-on-before-calibration\" data-block-id=\"6d3c3cd\"><style>.stk-6d3c3cd{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-6d3c3cd .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-6d3c3cd .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">2. How long should my screen be on before calibration?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">Some screens have a \u201cwarm up\u201d period after being turned on, during which certain characteristics, like brightness and color temperature, are changing. Thus, it is recommended that you calibrate with TruHu after your screen has warmed up. Thankfully, most modern screens stabilize quickly, in about 10 minutes. If your screen is older, say 2017 or earlier, it would be a good idea to let your screen warm up for 20 minutes before calibrating. If you put your screen into \u201csleep\u201d mode, rather than turn it off, this keeps the backlight at a constant voltage and should allow your screen to stabilize in a few minutes after \u201cwaking up\u201d.<br><br>Explore this topic in more detail in our dedicated blog entry on <a href=\"https:\/\/truhu.app\/blog\/how-long-should-my-screen-be-on-before-calibration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">how long screens should be on before calibration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-da1f456\" id=\"3-how-often-should-i-calibrate-my-screen\" data-block-id=\"da1f456\"><style>.stk-da1f456{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-da1f456 .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-da1f456 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">3. How often should I calibrate my screen?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">LCD screens are much more stable than their CRT predecessors, so the old recommendation of \u201ccalibrate your screen daily\u201d no longer applies under most circumstances. The primary part of your LCD screen that changes over time is the backlight, so recommended calibration frequency is related to total hours the screen was used since the previous calibration. For professionals, who are assumed to have the screen on ~40 hours \/ week, the recommendation is to calibrate monthly. For more casual users (e.g., internet shoppers), you should be fine calibrating every 3-6 months. Thankfully, TruHu is easy to use and doesn\u2019t take much time, so no problem calibrating more frequently. Your license comes with an unlimited number of calibrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-076ae8a\" id=\"4-i-have-two-side-by-side-screens-on-my-desk-and-after-calibrating-both-with-tru-hu-they-dont-exactly-match-as-closely-as-i-hoped-what-can-i-do-about-that\" data-block-id=\"076ae8a\"><style>.stk-076ae8a{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-076ae8a .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-076ae8a .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">4. I have two side-by-side screens on my desk, and after calibrating both with TruHu they don\u2019t exactly match as closely as I hoped.&nbsp; What can I do about that?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">This is one of the most challenging situations for calibration tools, since the human eye is so sensitive to subtle differences in a side-by-side setting.&nbsp;We are trying to achieve a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metamerism_(color)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">metameric match<\/a>, but the greater the difference between the spectral curve of the two displays&#8217; backlight the more challenging this is.&nbsp;We would expect TruHu to get you into the same ballpark, but for the closest match possible we suggest you use two models of the same display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-82eea65\" id=\"5-ive-finished-calibrating-my-screen-with-tru-hu-and-i-dont-see-much-of-a-difference-between-the-before-and-after-images-whats-that-telling-me\" data-block-id=\"82eea65\"><style>.stk-82eea65{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-82eea65 .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-82eea65 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">5. I\u2019ve finished calibrating my screen with TruHu, and I don\u2019t see much of a difference between the before and after images.&nbsp; What\u2019s that telling me?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">Congratulations! That means your screen was in a reasonably good state to start, but that doesn\u2019t mean your TruHu calibration isn\u2019t valuable. TruHu gives you the peace of mind of knowing your screen is in a good state, and your subscription will help maintain that good state over time. Additionally, there may be some images, like those with lots of shadow detail, where your TruHu-calibrated screen will reveal subtleties that weren\u2019t seen previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-4f336f6\" id=\"6-ive-finished-calibrating-my-screen-with-tru-hu-and-it-appears-kind-of-dim-is-that-correct-will-turning-up-the-brightness-mess-up-the-calibration\" data-block-id=\"4f336f6\"><style>.stk-4f336f6{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-4f336f6 .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-4f336f6 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">6. I\u2019ve finished calibrating my screen with TruHu, and it appears kind of dim. Is that correct? Will turning up the brightness mess up the calibration?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">In order to achieve the specified White Point, TruHu makes changes to the computer\u2019s video card lookup table\u2019s RGB values. They start at 100% (max) and TruHu reduces the max values as needed. For example, to achieve a warmer White Point, TruHu may reduce the max blue value. There is no option to go above 100%, so White Point adjustments inevitably reduce overall luminance. Thankfully, modern displays keep a pretty consistent white point as you adjust brightness. So feel free to turn up your brightness to the desired level post-calibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-8245dd1\" id=\"7-what-are-those-strange-patterns-i-see-on-my-phone-when-im-photographing-my-monitor-with-tru-hu-and-are-they-a-problem\" data-block-id=\"8245dd1\"><style>.stk-8245dd1{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-8245dd1 .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-8245dd1 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">7. What are those strange patterns I see on my phone when I\u2019m photographing my monitor with TruHu, and are they a problem?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">These are known as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moir%C3%A9_pattern\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moire patterns<\/a>&nbsp;and are a result of an interaction between your phone\u2019s high resolution sensor geometry and the geometry of the screen it\u2019s photographing.&nbsp; By showing the gray and color targets at an angle, TruHu minimizes moire problems and thus does not affect the accuracy of the calibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-74e34f9\" id=\"9-strong-what-if-i-want-different-color-profiles-like-for-natural-paper-prints-versus-brightened-paper-prints-can-i-do-that-with-tru-hu-and-set-them-at-different-color-temperatures-strong\" data-block-id=\"74e34f9\"><style>.stk-74e34f9{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-74e34f9 .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-74e34f9 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">8. <strong>What if I want different color profiles, like for natural paper prints versus brightened paper prints? Can I do that with TruHu and set them at different color temperatures?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">This seems like a common need, and TruHu offers an easy solution.&nbsp; Let\u2019s say you need two monitor profiles, one at 5000K and another at 6500k.&nbsp; By default, TruHu includes the white point in the name of the profile.&nbsp; So it\u2019s just a matter of going to System Preferences \/ Displays \/ Display Settings \/ Color Profile to invoke your preferred profile.&nbsp; Note:&nbsp; If you are on a Macbook Pro 14\u201d or 16\u201d, the interface is slightly different and is described in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/truhu.app\/blog\/how-to-change-display-current-profile-on-a-macbook-pro-14-16\/\">blog post about changing Mac display profiles here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-1f30fef\" id=\"10-strong-some-of-my-monitors-have-a-blue-light-filter-how-does-that-affect-the-situation-strong\" data-block-id=\"1f30fef\"><style>.stk-1f30fef{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-1f30fef .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-1f30fef .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">9. <strong>Some of my monitors have a blue light filter. How does that affect the situation?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">The blue light filter is a coated screen to be placed over your monitor to make your screen appear less blue. As a result, a screen that is natively 6500K might actually measure as a slightly warmer 6000K with the blue screen. That\u2019s no problem. In TruHu just choose a white point that you are comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-1f30fef\" id=\"net-runtime-error-truhu-windows\" data-block-id=\"1f30fef\"><style>.stk-1f30fef{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-1f30fef .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-1f30fef .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">10. <strong>I am getting a .NET Desktop Runtime error on Windows, how can I fix it?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">TruHu for Windows requires Microsoft\u2019s free .NET Desktop Runtime v6.

What\u2019s the best Color Temperature setting for my screen?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">The Color Temperature of white on your screen, also known as White Point, is one the settings you can pick in TruHu. This is really a matter of personal preference. The higher the color temperature, the bluer the white point. The most commonly used Color Temperature for screen calibration is 6500K. The sRGB (common for web imagery), AdobeRGB ( common with Pro Photographers), and DCI-P3 (Cinema) color spaces all use 6500K as the Color Temperature for their White Point, making it a good choice under most circumstances. A white point of 5000K is commonly specified for commercial print applications in North America. This can result in a closer match between screen and paper white under recommended lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-303b922\" id=\"2-how-do-i-disable-some-of-the-auto-adjust-features-on-my-windows-or-mac-computer-such-as-nightlight-windows-and-night-shift-or-true-tone-mac\" data-block-id=\"303b922\"><style>.stk-303b922{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-303b922 .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-303b922 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">2.

I&#8217;m viewing my prints by reflected light at 5000 degrees. So how can you explain to me why I would want my monitor calibrated to 6000?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">Assuming your 5000K light box is accurate, my experience has shown that papers viewed in a 5000K light box often match best when the display is calibrated to a cooler temperature such as 6000K. <br><br>The main reason for this is that many paper manufacturers add optical brightening agents (OBAs) to make their paper appear brighter or whiter.\u00a0 In fact, a spectrophotometer sees an OBA-brightened paper as blue, though the eye sees it as white.\u00a0Thus, a bluer white point on screen will often produce a better match for OBA-brightened papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-08f4028\" id=\"4-where-can-i-find-color-profiles-windows-mac-monitor-printer\" data-block-id=\"08f4028\"><style>.stk-08f4028{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-08f4028 .stk-block-heading__text{text-shadow:none !important;color:#3c3c3c !important}.stk-08f4028 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:0px !important}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">4.

After a full HDR optimization of my Windows monitor and GPU settings, followed by a TruHu calibration, my desktop colors look amazing but my in-game colors look blown out. Why is this happening?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background\">The likely culprit is Microsoft&#8217;s &#8220;Auto HDR&#8221; feature. While this feature is great for unoptimized profiles and monitors, it tends to overcompensate when you set up your monitor and color profile perfectly. As a result, whites look blown out and blacks look crushed. <br><br><strong>We recommend turning &#8220;Auto HDR&#8221; off for TruHu-calibrated monitors<\/strong> by going to Settings &gt; System &gt; Display &gt; HDR Settings &gt; Auto HDR.
