I was speechless!.. How to CALIBRATE a MONITOR without a colorimeter

In this video I show how you can easily calibrate your monitor without using a Colorimeter or mobile applications. This technique is not perfect and depends on the model of the phone you own, however it works great for me.

I did this exact thing and it worked better than any colorimeter

It's rare you find a video where the creator presents something both novel and useful. I commend you!

Great tips! Love the idea of bringing the phone closer to make the size appear bigger

So glad to see that I wasn't "crazy" when I thought about using my iPhone 13 Pro Max to compare my new monitor with when calibrating it! Also, one thing I found that really helped, was to go into Windows settings, and reduce the gamma, as I was getting the colors close, but too "washed out" :)

Bam. sure enough, took me about 15 mins but now I'm all good to go! Thank you! For weeks I was creating these beautiful videos on the computer, then get to my phone and they were dark and muddy! Thank you!

This video is very well produced. You really need more subscribers, so here is my subscription! Anyway, before I watched this video, I figured out this way to calibrate my monitor by myself, but there were some really useful advices I got from this video. Thank you. And keep up your great videos ;)

The image quality in this video is one of the best I’ve seen on YouTube. I might use your video to calibrate my monitor

Excellent tutorial with no BS or attempt to sell something.
The salient point here is that when we finish (for example) scanning negs or creating pictures on our PCs or Macs then its most likely that we are going to save/view them on smartphones & tablets and the like, more so than printing them.
- So what we want to end up doing is match our work in progress with the finished device.
- Hence initially calibrating the computer display to match the phone is ideal.
I'll hang my phone over my monitor and try to match the colours.

Thanks Pavel.

thank you so much. simple, straight to the point, and the only video that’s actually helped me. i’m a photographer switching from lightroom mobile to lightroom on pc, and my photos were very distorted before. now they are exactly the same from pc to mobile, thank you so much!

Super dope video, just what I needed! Keep the great content!!

[cokrlicix]

Thx a lot, this is the best and most usefull video on this subject, everybody always try to sell you something, but you actualy gave advice that helps people.
I'm realy glad I came a cross your video after just an hour or so of reaserch. You saved me a huge amount of time.
Thx again my friend.

Great video! it took me a while to get my monitors adjusted but it works and the color looks solid now.

Nice trick mate! it worked for me. I was struggling with two monitors (one LG HD and Samsung 4K), neither of them was showing the correct colors. I used my iPhone 12 as the reference and calibrated them. Now both of them look perfect. (at least for my eyes :) ) Thank you so much for the video. Off to the topic, what is the microphone you used for your recording?

[laburnum]

Thank you for your video! 🙏 I've seen a lot of comments asking about brightness and I see you've said that brightness does not effect color. But does brightness affect contrast (or our ability to detect differences in contrast)? How do you know when the levels in a photograph need to be changed if you can always just increase or decrease the brightness on your device to compensate?

Thanks for the help! I think I managed to get my monitors looking a lot better. One seems to be a tiny bit more vibrant, but I think that's just the nature of having both a TN and IPS panel.

[anastasiamcdaniel]

Thank you so so much for making this video! I didn't realize that my phone was in saturation mode which explains why all my photos and videos were heavily saturated and just terrible, it even made me think that I wasn't a good content creator for a long while, I thought I was going crazy, but now that I have found your video I feel a whole lot better now... And everything is great. HUGE THANK YOU💯💯💯💯❤😄

This video helped me so much! I messed with my new monitor for days and I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to calibrating displays. I have a Samsung S21 and I think I've got my monitor looking better than my phone now lol!

[jamesnadua]

This is actually pretty cool and very helpful!! Thanks for the video! :D

[johndn]

Very neat! Thanks for a helpful and informative video - I shall give your technique a try!
