If this sounds familiar, then your professional life would benefit from having a calibrated monitor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background wp-block-heading\">What Is Monitor Calibration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#00000000\">Monitor calibration means using a measurement tool or app to create a &#8220;fingerprint&#8221; or color (ICC) profile of your computer\u2019s display to achieve accurate colors. Monitor calibration improves consistency and precision in color sensitive work, compensating for <em>your<\/em> particular environment &#8211; including natural light, screen brightness, and accounting for your specific monitor chromaticities, allowing for accurate profiles at different color temperatures. Color professionals recommend calibrating most displays at least once per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-palette-color-8-background-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Why Color Professionals Calibrate their Monitors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#00000000\">Even if you think your color \u201clooks fine as far I can tell,\u201d without a calibrated monitor you can\u2019t be sure, and it can lead to finger pointing when the color is off. In addition, the backlight on a computer display ages over time. The color you are viewing this month may look a bit different next month. The more time that passes between calibrations, the more likely your color has shifted.<br><br>One other thing, many users don\u2019t ever look over their monitors\u2019 settings such as brightness. You could be set to 100% brightness, dramatically shortening the life of your monitor. The calibration process has you evaluate your monitor\u2019s brightness in your working environment. In most instances, a brightness level well below 100% will be more suitable.\u00a0<br><br>You probably spent a pretty penny on a quality display. To ensure you get the most out of your investment, be sure to calibrate on a monthly basis.<br><br>Existing calibration products that use a colorimeter tend to be clunky and expensive. And free solutions that don\u2019t involve measurement rely on guesstimation and do not work so well. That\u2019s why we invented TruHu.
