If you’re lucky to have a monitor calibration gadget (xrite iONE, huey, …) it’s quite easy to calibrate your monitor to see the correct colors. I was wandering how i could use these devices to calibrate my monitors for HD video editing – the question was what white point and what gamma value to choose for this?
Important: I’m trying to setup my monitors to judge colors of video material targeted for LCD/Plasma monitors, not for CRT TVs!
After some research i found the specifications dealing with HDTV:
To put it short, the targets to use in the calibration software are:
White Point: 6500 K (D65)
Gamma: 2.22
