Good Post on Samsung 226BW
Check this out if you have one... or have some similar Samsung monitor.

I just used it, noticeable difference from how I calibrated it.
EDIT: and so this isnt just a thread, to another thread/forum

MagicTune: Released with 225BW but not 226BW?
Prior to being the proud and quite pleased owner of a Samsung 226BW LCD, I had tried it's predecessor, the 225BW; even though I took the 225BW back after a couple days, mostly due to reading some reviews of the 226 model, I still was upset to find that the 226BW LCD did not ship with Samsung's MagicTune software, as the 225BW did.
Maybe I got a bum package or something and everyone else's 226BW shipped with MagicTune, but, for whatever reason, my particular monitor did not.
Anyway, ...
The Calibration Function
What I've found most invaluable, and especially since coming from a decade of using high end 21"+ trinitrons (visual design professional) has been the color calibration routine built into Magic Tune's "Color" tab.
Here's the screen in Magic Tune from which you launch the calibration routine:

I forgot about The Samsung having MagicTune capability, I bought a cheaper Acer 2216W. It is a nice monitor but the controls are not as good as MagicTune.

Yea, I have used the 226bw for some games (BF2, Oblivion, some others) and movies. Most of the time I use it for WebBrowsing, E-mail and some streaming video, The screen looks great, although I’m not an LCD pro just an average user. |
