If you take a movie that was graded in a dim room (which AFAIK is the norm), and watch it in a pitch-black room, you need to increase gamma to compensate. You're not taking viewing conditions into account, which are extremely important when determining the correct viewing gamma. That's kind of the point of having a standard. They're supposed to be calibrated to BT.1886. Are you claiming that they're wrong, and if so, do you have specific evidence to back up your case? So what? Obviously the people who wrote BT.1886 standardized on that shape on purpose, otherwise they would just have mandated a pure power curve. This is completely normal and is working as intended - the whole point of BT.1886 is to compensate for such displays by lowering effective gamma. However, because a BT.1886 curve (in general) is not a pure power curve, the effective gamma ('average' gamma, or best fit for a pure power curve) is closer to 2.2 when a display with a non-perfect black point is used. Standard BT.1886 has a technical gamma of 2.4, in other words, 2.4 is used as the exponent. I personally use 70% output offset (30% input offset) Gamma 2.2 when I calibrate with Displa圜AL and ArgyllCMS because it resembles to my native monitor gamma curve and because it does not compress the blacks as much as 100 output offset.ĭon't confuse these, HCFR uses input offset whether Displa圜AL uses output offset, same thing different name and proportional to one another. I don't think anyone can tell what input/output offset % the studios use but it's definitely not 100% input. If you watch this content on a BT1886 calibrated display you WILL have wrong shadows and more importantly wrong colors. If the grading monitor is an OLED, the minimum black level will be set to 0.1 or 0.05 to have contrast ration of 1000:1 or 2000:1 according to ITU specification of Grade A monitor. SDR movies are graded on a typical 1000:1 LCD studio monitor calibrated to black compensated gamma 2.2. It also doesn't follow 2.2 or 2.4 above or below 50% input. If you set Override Black to 0 nit, the gamma will be 2.4 spot on across whole luminance range.Ġ input offset for maximum black compression, 100 for less compression but less true gamma curve below 50% input.Ĭlearly BT1886 is nowhere near 2.4 with a 1000:1 display. Set to gamma to 0 and input offset to 100%, to use the BT1886 equation.

You can play with it and just click Apply to see the new curve. Peak luminance is always 100 nit, so set Override Black to 0.1 nit to have a 1000:1 typical contrast ratio display (100/0.1 = 1000). HCFR also lets you change the Black output/input offset or the shadow compression level.

Well behaved monitor=a monitor that behaves in away taht can be predicted with a matrix profile, a monitor that behaves almost like with ideal additivity of the 3 channels, so if you know “gamma” and primaries position you can calculate a RGB triplet for each CIE XYZ color that is inside monitor colorspace.īad behavior in monitors can be preducted with a 3D mesh (ZXYLUT) that captures these irregulatites.This software will let you plot EOTF curves and change their parameters like minimum light level which will plot the curve differently according to this. If after calibration a simple matrix profile cannot predict how display will behave (the shape of your body in taylor example) and you cannot use a 3D mesh… there is nothing you can do.ĮDR=spectral correction (a spectral power distribution of WRGB channels, energy per wavelength of dispaly), binary format, Xrite IP Complex profiles masure your body with a 3D mesh. Simple profiles (matrix) uses primaries corrdinates and assumes that your body will have the ideal proportions. It ensures that grey color is as close as possible to 255 white of your choice, and that it has your desired TRC (“gamma”Ģ- after calibration display is measured to make a profile, like a taylor measuring yur chest. 1- calibrate grey, it’s the only you can do on a monitor without HW calibration & gamut emulation.
