The luminance and the white point of the ambient light
of the room can be measured with a measurement device
which supports ambient light measurements (e.g. basIC-
Color SQUID 2 or X-Rite Eye-One pro).
.5. Luminance / contrast ratio
Here you can define parameters that are important in dif-
ferent ways.
If you should use several monitors in your environment, it
makes sense to harmonize them to the same visual appear-
ance. These settings allow you to do so in different ways.
White luminance
The addition af all 3 RGB primaries results in white light of
the highest possible quantity of light. That makes white the
brightest color a monitor can show.
If you reduce the brightness of an LCD monitor or the con-
trast of a CRT, the quantity of light and thus the white lumi-
nance will be reduced.
All monitors have a different native white luminance. In or-
der to be visually equal, they need to be calibrated to the
same maximum luminance. The reference is always the
monitor with the least brightness. All other monitors must
be adjusted to the darkest one.
