How to Calibrate Your Screen/Monitor for free

Whilst surfing the web after buying my new Samsung T220 monitor, I was looking for a way to calibrate, as out of the box it was glaringly bright – great for movies etc – poor for design work. What I ran into was Supercal. Is a great tool, and after running a few test priints after calibration process which took me roughly 20minutes, the gap between what I saw on screen and my photographs printed on my Canon ix4000 had decreased monumentally. Highly reccommended!

SuperCal™ is a visual display calibrator capable of measuring and correcting most conventional displays, including LCDs, CRTs and projectors. SuperCal doesn’t require any hardware measurement devices – only your eyeballs – yet it can be much more accurate, based on how well you pay attention to what you’re doing .

SuperCal lets you accurately measure the response of any display and build a profile with a corrected gamma table that improves the appearance of your display under Mac OS 9 or X. When your display is properly calibrated, you’ll notice much smoother tonal gradations and cleaner-looking anti-aliased text.

SuperCal was designed to provide the most accurate calibration possible without the use of a hardware measurement device. Very few users can afford to purchase a hardware calibration device like an X-Rite or Colortron, but all users need a properly calibrated display, whether they are retouching digital images or shopping for clothing on the internet.
