I have testing some calibrations with my PVM-2541. Not the BVM series, but okay for locations.

Sony posted a ‘whitepoint setting app’ on its website. It takes a reading from a CA210, CS200, PR655, Klein, eye1 or other, and tries to match the monitor. The interesting thing is that the software ask you what are you matching to, and then applies a big offset. If you select CRT, it applies a -006/-0.011 offset which is pretty big.

But the biggest problem is apparently it needs an input – something – it cannot generate its own patterns, which is okay, but it does not tell you what to input. I suppose it has to be 100% white, as it takes the brightness down and measures dark grey from it, and then measures full white – but cannot tell. I tried it with 75% white and it was somewhat more off.

Anybody knows what the input pattern should be?

Thanks
