How to use "Display Calibrator Assistant"?
Thank you everyone who helped me with getting an external monitor for my iBookG4. Due to a limited availabilities in town (Fairbanks, AK), I decided to give a try to Vizio VX20L (20" HDTV). I watched a HD DVD last night, and the picture was really good. However, I am having trouble adjusting colors when I use the HDTV as an external monitor. I called Visio Tech Support, and a guy told me to set at "1028x768 @60hz and NOT 75hz as their user manual says. This did help sharpen letters, but the colors are still very bad. The support tech told me that I need to adjust the colors on my iBook.
I went to:
System Preference ---> Display --> Color --> Calibrate --> "Display Calibrator Assistant."
After doing some adjustments in Experts Mode, the colors on Vizio HDTV got much better and I was also able to remove horizontal lines (which, Vizio tech support said, are computer output problems and not the monitor/TV's). The display is at last in a usable condition, but the colors are still off. The worst is that Gray on iBook displays as Pink on Vizio. While I was doing the adjustmets with the calibrator, I tried my best but was not able to achive Gray (i.e. the apple logo in the center was somewhat pink instead of gray). Will anyone please help me so that I can have gray on my Vizio HDTV?
Another problem is that the color on HDTV is so flashy, or bright colors look like florescent. Is there way to tone down this florescent like shine? Where on my iBook can I adust this?
Thank you in advance for your help! I eagerly await for your helpful advices!
