On average, the difference in 50 color patches as measured by Displa圜AL was negligible at less than 1 dE.

My 30” wide gamut Dell display, for example, changed less than 3 dE on the worst color patch over a span of 3 years, which is hardly visible. For less demanding work, calibrating a modern good quality IPS monitor twice a year is perfectly acceptable. Think of it as a relatively inexpensive monitor upgrade that can extract the most quality from your existing display, or get similar color response between two different monitors.īased on my tests, modern monitors drift very little over time, so it’s safe to rent a colorimeter or maybe even share the cost of one between a group of friends. If you care about colors in your work, you need to care about the tools you use to interact with them.Īrguably, purchasing a monitor calibration tool is a worthwhile investment even for general computer usage. The same logic applies not only to photography but also to all fields that require consistent color - for example, web, graphic and product design. Calibrating your monitor ensures that what you see is consistent from day to day and also follows a known universal standard. Your photographs, illustrations or designs can vary wildly in color from one display to another, and even more during printing, where any misstep can represent a big waste of money. An uncalibrated screen is an unknown variable. The monitor is the main place of interaction between creative professional and digital work. To base all your decisions regarding color on an unknown variable is the same as drawing on paper with the lights turned off.
Absolutely, yes! Ideally, we all should work on calibrated displays that allow us to evaluate our work according to a universal standard.
