p.4 #1 · What's Your Color Accuracy?


I got 7 on my iMac Alu 24". Monitor has not be changed from Apple defaults. It's definitely too bright for an ideal photo editing screen, but the colour accuracy is clearly fairly good.

7 on the Dell 2408WFP I received yesterday. I run Linux so none of the hardware calibrators will work for me. I calibrated it by eye, and I guess I did OK. I am male, 58 years old. Worst for my gender & age range was 1429. That guy must have been color blind.

26 for me but what was more scary is that I barely made it into the 40-49 age group

I got a zero on my calibrated 20-inch apple screen and a 10 on my uncalibrated MacBook Pro screen, which I about what I would have expected. I think the test is cool too.

20 on an uncalibrated Dell LCD in bad flourecent light at work, in only a few minutes while on a phone con. I'll have to try it again at home in good light and on my calibrated GDM-FW900.

I got 108. I tanked the blue end, since I don't process color right in my dumb eyes.

Then again, I'm the perfect age that color blindness and deficiancy hit, so who knows.

btw, it's on a 5 year old dell 19inch crt, uncalibrated monitor. All of these sub 10 scores seem unreal.

I am curious to know if any of the colours in the test are technically out-of-gamut for consumer LCD panels (laptops and non-pro grade TN LCD panels). Seems like many people are getting good results on these inferior screens.

I suppose it's reasonable to assume that even if a monitor does not have accurate colours, you would still be able to get the relative order right provided that none of the colours were out-of-gamut.

I am getting an Apple Cinema Display soon (S-IPS type panel) so will test again on that to see if it makes a difference.

16 on unclaibrated Mac Book Pro with 20in Cinema monitor. I would love to see the survey differentiate between Mac and PC too for fun.

33 on first try glasses on. 3 on second try, glasses off. It helps to defocus the test. Calibrated 24" Eizo monitor PC.

would love to see the survey differentiate between Mac and PC too for fun

I think calibration/monitor/graphics card makes more of a difference than the type of computer
