  • Maganda ba spyder4 pro or spyder4 elite???
  • guys ano kaya problema pag nagbblack screen yung monitor? bumili kasi ako monitor and hdmi and vga lang connections nya. now lang din ako gumamit ng hdmi for my computer kasi lagi ako dvi. sira kaya yung monitor na nabili ko? or hdmi ng gpu ko? ano kaya mga pwedeng cause? thanks.
    sa windows mo lang ba na-experience yan or on some applications?

    try mo mag-boot sa BIOS then check kung mag-off pa rin monitor mo.
    kung OO -- definitely hardware. sabi mo nga, pedeng cable, monitor or VGA. try mo muna iGP to check / replace cable.
    kung hindi -- pedeng driver lang. try mo sa safemode. reinstall driver/updated driver. reinstall OS.

  • Maganda ba spyder4 pro or spyder4 elite???


    Only buy IF:

    A. Kailangan mo sa trabaho (Photo/Video where color accuracy is required)
    B. Nahihirapan ka i-set yung monitor sa malapit na color settings
    C. Marami kang pera para sunugin.
  • ^^^^

    Siguro \"B\" kasi may dadating akong ips monitor first time ko sa ips sabi rich color daw to and maganda rin daw gamitan ng color calibration tool anyway kung sa games lang monitor pwedeng hindi na gamitan ng spyder tool?

    Meron na palang spyder5 ngayon ko lang nakita....
  • Maganda pero yun nga, I doubt kailangan mo ng Spyder, konting kalikot lang actually ok na yun. Maraming libreng calibration guide sa internet, isipin mo mga 10-5% nalang ng color accuracy ang mabibigay ng Spyder after mo kalikutin ng konti yung mga setting for a few minutes to an hour.
  • ^si Vladz - C yan!

    if he can buy a new model muscle car, bale wala sa kanya yan! hehehe
  • ^^^

    LOL hindi ko naman sinusunog ang pera...
  • ^Try looking at X-Rite bro - mas ok sa Spyder yan.

    kung pang games lang naman, hindi talaga kailangan ng 3rd party calibration tool nyan (but if you have it, why not?) As mentioned above, Color Calibration tools are for professional use (was intended for that). -- to make the color of the soft copy nung image identical to print.

    kung mapapansin mo, kadalasan iba yung color sa computer display mo VS sa color nung print out - dyan ginagamit ang Calibration tools - for color accuracy.
  • ^

    Yah thanks narinig ko na rin yan x-rite pero baka try ko spyder5
  • The reason kasi bumibili ng Spyder mga ganyan eh dahil gusto nila kunin yung full color accuracy ng monitor to print medium para 1:1 ang labas.

    Tsaka yung added feature na sadyang nagbabago ang kulay ng screen depending on the ambient light, maganda kung puro ilaw lang galing sa room lighting pero pag natamaan ng konting sunlight (yellowish) mag babago din ng konti yung perception sa display mo, may sensor yung mga units to compensate for the added yellow sunlight.


    Kung gusto mo talaga go ahead, pero at most, 10% added benefit lang yan (kung tamad ka mag calibrate ng sarili mo, wala pa 1 hour yun na kalikot kalikot sa settings pwede na)
  • The color will go yellowish after calibration, and you\'re not gonna like it.
  • ^that\'s just for a few seconds... pag naka settle na mata mo in the new settings, it would look normal... then pag balik mo sa ibang profiles, they would look bluish for you naman :)
  • Yep. Some though really just don\'t like it. Someone once had his screen calibrated and after I did it, he didn\'t like it and asked how, if ever, can he revert it back to the way it was, and I showed him how. Most likely, he went back to the old profile prior to calibration. hehehe

  • ^that\'s just for a few seconds... pag naka settle na mata mo in the new settings, it would look normal... then pag balik mo sa ibang profiles, they would look bluish for you naman :


    True. Before puro normal or standard lang settings ko sa monitor ngayon nag try ako user mode settings napansin ko yellowish nga pero sa games mas angat kulay nya nagkaroon ng buhay yung environment ng games dahil humihiwalay yung kulay.

    Sa desktop nag try ako ibalik sa normal nag blueish nga parang hindi ko na trip parang pantay lahat ng kulay nung binalik ko sa user mode sa desktop nakita ko yung nga color parang ramdam ng mata ko nakahiwalay mga kulay.....

    Limitation na siguro ng LG IPS panel or baka saturated narin ang bandwith ng Displayport 1.2a

    Advanced Color Management software allow you to set your preferred white point color temperature setting prior to calibration and profiling with a colorimeter or spectrophotometer. I usually stick with the industry standard sRGB color space, 6500K white point and 2.2 gamma and games, websites, videos, photos, etc. all looks great to me. The biggest improvement was when I calibrated my laptop display which had a strong blue cast out of the box. Now the color is consistent with my desktop monitor.

  • Yes, and it will be a bit yellowish than what most people are used to with products being marketed that usually have cool tint because it looks pleasing to the consumer. But after a while, your eyes will get accustomed to it.

    Sorry for the vague statement. I was replying to vladz. Should have made the statement clearer.
  • ^but that was a good point! - to give an idea to those who have not experienced calibrating their displays yet (with a calibration tool like Spyder/X-Rite)

    calibration makes the display \"warmer\"...

    just like in headlights, yellow lights penetrate better (specially in rainy / foggy days)
  • guys need suggestions lang po

    what monitor can you recommend for 15k budget?
    mixed usage
    movies, games, multitasking, occasional photo/video editing etc
    regular use only

  • ^Get a 24-inch Dell UltraSharp Monitor... yung 16:10
  • ^
    24\" po gamit ko ngayon
    dell u2412m

    need bigger monitor lang kasi
  • ^Yan na isa sa mga maganda at that price range... kung gusto mo bigger, dapat medyo bigger din ang budget. (I\'m assuming na brand new monitors ang pinaguusapan naten dito - not refurbished or yung mga brand new kuno).
  • ^
    yun nga sana balak so sir
    27\"

  • Dayum bukas dadating na yung acer xb270hu ips gsync monitor ko sana almost perfect walang dead pixel and hindi masyado yung ips glow.

    Wala namang problema sa refurbished as long as sa description niya ay indicated na \"refurbished\".

    In fact, I\'ve been using one myself, so far ok naman.

    May mga sellers kasi na binebenta as brand new ang monitor, pero actually refurbished naman siya.
  • @vladz

    nice sir, pa review ng monitor sir ha! hehe
