If after calibrating your monitor and you do not like the results, is there a way to switch back to the way it was?

Yes, I just uninstalled it and it took things back to the way it was before I installed it. Wasn't a very hard process to uninstall.

There is on Mac. I'm not sure about Windows. On Mac you go into your display settings and your old profile will be there.

Before applying the proposed change, there a few photos that can be viewed "before" and "after". After change is accepted, I don't know if can go back to original. Proof of the pudding will be prints made after calibration. I assume that prints from a good lab are not similar to what you see on your monitor, or you would not be looking at calibration.

I don't know how to get it to normal again. Mine quit working due to a faulty switch after about eight months. I returned it to the place of purchase and received a refund. Daylight guarantees them for a year.

No monitor comes color calibrated. I calibrated mine using Displays > calibrate.

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

No! But I highly recommend choosing another monitor; the customer service with this company has been awful. Only after I returned the item was I contacted by someone who seemed genuinely interested in keeping my business!

Yes, I had this problem as well. The default settings were opposite what the manual defined.

I find my monitor calibrating every now and then, flashing various colors and lines across the screen, but it usually doesn't look for input. I'm guessing it's getting a mixed signal from your computer, or some device it is plugged into? If you hit the "Source" button (the + sign), you can select a default source and turn OFF the auto-select source option. This might also help.

Yes, but I think you have to go into settings & just select "gray scale" if I remember right

I examined the same question when making a purchasing decision. The question is how much does a monitor change over time and in differing places. My system (Mac) is designed to operate in one area and the requirements for changing the settings do not vary. My laptop (Windows) operates in differing environments and changes to the monitor depend upon where the computer is being used, but these changes have been minor. If you are ina commercial environment and the pictures are for sale or publication, then spend the money and buy the more expensive item. Based upon the stability of my system, I'd say save the money until you really need the more expensive item. One word of caution, the Spyder4Elite software sends reminders to recalibrate too often. I have recieved one immediately after performing the recalibration (Mac) and the laptop (Windows) has sent a notification every time I log on. I did report this a number of times, but It must have fallen upon deaf ears or the customer service group may be perfoming recalibrations in response to messages and not have the time to respond to customers.

I too have a triple monitor set up and it will walk you through calibrating each one individually. I calibrate my monitors monthly.

It comes with maybe a ketchup packet worth of calibration solution which will calibrate initially. You can go about a month without calibrating. It falls off a point or 2 by then.

Of course, there are media players that allow one to alter the aspect ratio. VLC media player, for example. The monitor just plays whatever the computer tells it.

Yeah you just have to calibrate it with your windows 7. Look it up on YouTube if you have to or google.

I keep a small lamp on my computer desk, therefore I do not have any problems seeing things. Let's say you want to auto adjust your monitor, this is how you do it. 1. Press any of the top 4 top buttons on the right of your monitor. 2. Press Menu (3rd) button. To scroll down the menu (have 8 choices), press the 2nd button or white arrow down botton. 3. Press or arrow down to "auto adjust" #2. 4. Press 3rd button (lock in your choice) see green check mark. Should also see grayish/white "auto adjust in progress" on your screen. 5. Press 4th button (red "X") to exit when done. Hope I have been able to help you :-)

it does the calibration once you tell it the type of monitor you are using ... you have some broad control but so far a gamma, color monitor temp preference and room light level calibration but the ColorMunki does the rest.

There is a feature in the image settings labeled C.A.T.S. that will perform automatic adjustment between contrast and brightness. Turn it off if you don't want to use it. However it's different for each input, and the apps count as an input for adjustment purposes.
