Hi all
My question to you all is whats the best setup to view (approxiately) what my website would look like on windows platform.
Before you answer the obvious responces, I must state that my monitor is setup at 9300k at a gamma of 2.2 - which i believe SHOULD view like a pc.
I have used the Apple Display Calibrator Assistant and SuperCal as i do not have a hardware calibrator at the moment (not sure if they can do the job).
Problem is when i view content on various pc's, my content STILL looks darker than the estimates.
when viewing my Photoshop screenshots through Imageready and Fireworks - the fireworks preview is much darker than the imageready preview - I JUST DONT GET IT!!
I thought the fact that we are dealing with hard coded values with the gamma that i should at least get it appoximatley close, i know one cant account for brightness levels on users machines but the overall brightness level just looks a bit too different to be of any use.
what am i doing wrong - and even more importantly what setup does anyone suggest for 'previewing' web content for viewing on a pc that is known to work.
thanx to all that can help
