Colour Temperature

We measure the colour temperature of each monitor using whichever preset RGB settings are closest to the ideal value of 6,500K. We display the measured value as well as the deviation from the ideal in a second graph for easier comparison.

Gamma

We measure the gamma of each monitor at its factory settings at nine different luminance levels (between 10 percent and 90 percent brightness using 10 percent intervals). We display the average of the measured values as well as the deviation from the ideal value of 2.2 in a second graph for easier comparison.
