| First, adjust screen
contrast to maximum, then reduce it until you see a separation
between the white (farthest left) and the light gray blocks next
to it. |
|
Then, adjust the
brightness until you see a separation between the black and dark
gray blocks on the far right. The black block (farthest right)
should be as black as possible. |
|
Finally, look for
any color cast in the white and gray tones -- they should appear
neutral in color. Monitors tend to have a magenta cast to them
until they have warmed up for about 30 minutes, so if the bar
looks pinkish to you, wait a bit if you want to see colors more
accurately. |
