I have recently upgraded my PC/screen and invested in a decent screen calibration system (Spyder4Elite by Datacolour). I've also done a fair amount of reading around to find out how adjusting the various values in the calibration process effect the outcome.
I was just wondering, for those of you who do calibrate your monitors for photo processing/viewing, what your preferences are for white point (WP) and gamma values?
I have actually found it quite difficult to decide the colour temperature I prefer for viewing (choices range from somewhere between 5000K and 6500K) and the gamma value (often between 1.8 and 2.2). In the end, I've decided to trial a WP of 6500K and gamma of 2, although I may well reduce the gamma further.
Anyway, I'd be interested to hear others views/preferences.
Thanks
