Hi Sylvain,

Hmm risking to sound like a broken record... wanted to clarify further my situation and remark about flash renderers.
My monitor is a HP LP475w said to cover 100% AdobeRGB.[/quote]
Exactly what I got, for a short while at least, also because of the very favourable reviews.
However, I noticed a rather conspicuous, to me anyway, colour shift from the left to the right, from light cyan to light magenta. I first thought it was me, and tried to calibrate it away, but then I found that there are specimens out there that do show a colour shift similar to this, and returned the thing.
My question now is, when you searched for a good 24-inch or larger monitor, which ones did get onto your shortlist?
Personally I am now looking at the NEC 2490 WUXi2 and 2690 WUXi2, and the Dell 2410 and 2711B, where the larger ones are really stretching my budget, however.
Did you come across any other good options, for your budget?
I use a Spyder3Pro too. You may want to look at the software from Integrated Color Corp., Color Eyes Display Pro, for calibration: [url="http://www.integrated-color.com/"]http://www.integrated-color.com/[/url].
It gets better results actually, so worth a try (10 days fro free).
Indeed, not when they are not using calibrated monitors themselves with the appropriate profiles for those applications.
Kind regards, Wim

Quote:My pictures are sRGB too but when rendered on my monitor without calibration, colours get "out of check" and issues arise. But my monitor is calibrated using a spyder3pro.

Quote:After calibration, firefox base engine (gfx.color_management.mode set accordingly) will render pictures fine, taking my calibration into account. But my free flash renderer gallery, doesn't know about the profile and render them out of calibration.
I'm just saying there that even though you have chosen sRGB, keep in mind that your application of choice might not render properly on your customers with large gamut monitors.
