Calibrating monitor for video capture?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have a HP 22CWA monitor. I know it's not ideal, but I'm trying to get it calibrated "good enough" without buying calibration hardware. I will use test patterns like found on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

I have a EVGA GTX 1070 graphics card. Do I use the graphics card settings or do I use the monitor's settings? A combination? My graphics card settings have a section where you can set dynamic range and color format or you can use default settings.

I also found a site the tested the monitor and has an icc profile. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/revie...pavilion-22cwa

Both.

set dynamic range
Rarely good, boosts levels, fake color.

The defaults should be ok, unless you notice lack of contrast in very dark and bright areas. Computer monitors will normally use full range (0-255) RGB, other options are more for using with TVs.

So I first leave the graphics card settings on defaults, adjust with the monitor settings, then tweak with the graphics card settings?
