    Posted by Barbara Kaminsky on December 23, 2008 at 6:38 pm

    I am editing in FCP 6. I use an Apple laptop and a an older synmaster 213T monitor by samsung, the brightness color and contrast appear to be very differenet on the two displays. Any advice about which one I should be looking at for correct color, brightness etc. ? Is there a way to do this without spending a lot of money on new equipment ?
    Thank You
    Barbara

    Recalibrate your monitors in Apple’s display preferences. They will never be identical but you can get them close.

    Don’t trust any computer monitor for color adjustments. should be using a true NTSC monitor to grade

    Best wishes
