How to color calibrate every TV & Monitor in your house! - @Barnacules

Did you know I've made over 800+ other videos on YouTube? Hit that *SUBSCRIBE* button and watch another Barnacules Nerdgasm video right after this one! 🍿 Most PC monitors & HDTV's have inaccurate colors, contrast, and brightness out of the box. That is why it's critically important as a content creator to ensure your displays are calibrated before you color grade anything to ensure it's displayed properly on other devices and screens. You can achieve this with open source software and a range of inexpensive to expensive USB colorimeter devices.

Hope you guys enjoyed this video and look forward to more! Don't forget to expand the video description for all the links referenced in the video and more information. Thanks everyone who joined for the premiere, I've never done one of those before and it was a blast talking in chat through the entire first run of the video 👍

I could listen to you talk nerdy for hours at a time.
Never stop! 👊

This is a great video and I am really happy to see you using DisplayCal. Basically everything you did is spot on. However, one mistake you made is on setting the brightness. The center part of the brightness meter isn't a real "target", it's just the measured brightness at the start of the calibration process. This is because in the calibration tab, you had "white level" set to "as measured" instead of a specified cd/m2 level. The "set white point" dialog box after measuring the ambient light level only affected the color temperature calibration, not the brightness. So to clarify, when the brightness level dropped 12%, that wasn't dropping from any real standardized target, only from the starting brightness. In the future, I would recommend changing "white level" from "as measured" to 80-100 nits for a dark room, and 120-150 for a bright room. However, if your room is as bright as yours, you might want to go higher.

I just bought a new 144Hz monitor. Thank you so much for this, I've been battling with settings on my monitor for ages and had stupidly ignored my operating system graphics settings. Thank you for enlightening me.

While I do miss your consistent videos I will say that I'm quite pleased when you do come out with one because it's always either 1.awesome, 2. incredibly useful, or 3. both.

Hey Jerry, thanks for the awesome video! I know you're worried about rambling on forever, or having a video that's "too long", but just go for it. For sure it bothers you, but really, it is very entertaining!

[steven]

Man I'm super happy that you are back on Youtube. Please come back for more.

[FabrizioBalliano]

your tutorials are literally the bests, extremely details and never boring. it shows you perfectly know the subject.

[phenomanII]

Can't wait for more videos! Make them at whatever pace you want, I just want you to know that we'll be right here to watch them.

[ryakkan]

@Barnacules OMG! I spent like an hour over the weekend trying to calibrate my monitors. I so needed this! Thanks

[realENGY]

This is what i call timing. Just brought a colorimeter from work and Jerry has released a video on calibrating displays! 💖

[tatefinkbeiner]

I don't even have a need to calibrate my monitor, but I'm just so stoked that you are making videos again. You are a wealth of knowledge and I fucking love learning from you! Keep it up man, you rock!

[davidliberal]

Please come back to YouTube forever 😭🙏🙏🙏

[tomholmez]

[tamerlansoziev]

man you are only 67K from 1Mln subs! Thats amazing, keep it up, hope you reach that milestone quick! Been a fan for many years now!

[TechnoBabble]

You mention photographers but you'd be surprised. I know people that do photography as their full time profession that don't even know what a spectrometer/colourimeter is.

[TheLilK]

Welcome back baby! You probably recognize me from the streams. Glad to see you back! KEEP IT UP!

[DJJS]

Barnacules! It looks like you are working out like crazy! It's always good to see you happy and healthy!

[sparkplug]

Not a bad video, even though both of us don't really know what the hell most of this stuff is, you got enough info in here to help someone get it done.
Now then, we need more of these, this kind of stuff is pretty awesome man.
