shutterbug guy says he thinks his doesn't need calibration. that is far from the truth. your output product, like a print will give you a real good idea how far off you are. if you can't match your printed output within a margin of error to your screen you have issues. you want and need a standard to live and work by to get good repeatable results. you can accept what you get or you can control it instead.
i do use a very HQ monitor to edit my images in house with hardware based calibration. it is ultra consistent in correct color, contrast and brightness. my laptop has a good screen(so called 95% NTSC color gamut) but tends towards the cold side. calibration makes a big difference. it is much better balanced color after cal. not as good as the home screen though. but it is close enough to work with each other.
also many think that a LCD/LED monitor need not be warmed up. not so. most cal systems require at least 30 minutes of on time to "smooth things out" on the screen and will inform you of this....Show more →
With all due respect I was referring to my impressions of the monitor out of the box. There were no color casts, the brightness and contrast seemed pleasing to my eyes, basically the screen looked great. I did go on to say that yes, the screen would be calibrated eventually.
I agree that calibrating your screen is a good thing and highly recomended.
