Lg Calibration Studio Please Connect Supported Monitor

I've only had the Eizo CG279X for a couple of weeks but love it so far. It works great with my MacBook Pro 15 mid 2015. I had to buy an extra Mini DisplayPort to regular Displayport cable from Amazon to connect and works perfectly. I got the 279X rather than the 277 so that when I upgrade to a newer MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 it will connect directly with a TB3 cable supplied. I ran the internal hardware calibration on the monitor but I'm not sure if I should also do a separate calibration with my Datacolor Spyder 5 or not for the computer graphics card? It's nice to be reasonably sure that I'm color correcting my photos in Capture One to the right standard with this monitor. Several of the ones I calibrated before with my laptop screen seem to be way off. I think I've found the best monitor for me. I've recently become aware that for video it's best to calibrate to a separate TV monitor rather than in the GUI for Final Cut Pro but for now I'm going with a single monitor setup using the 279X. I don't like having to move the cursor between screens with dual monitors. I'm also considering a Tangent rollerball surface for faster editing. No audio with this display so I dug out a pair of old Sony computer speakers that work well.

Beautiful monitor! Has all needed color spaces for colorist and fits great in a small studio. For easier calibration I recommend downloading LG calibration studio from official website.

I received a calibration report with the monitor. Great match for my Mac Studio. Crisp, clear and perfect colors.

Connect a new Mac studio to an older NEC monitor, it just works as it should.

I've been using the SW240 as my primary display for a little over two months and I love it. If you bought or are considering buying this display, you are likely a photographer who is interested in producing digital or print images that match the subjects that you captured or in the way that intend them to be seen. The display is connected to my Dell XPS 15 laptop. The primary use is for photo editing and printing using mostly Lightroom and Photoshop. It is the perfect size to fit into the hutch sitting on my desk. BenQ recommends that you calibrate the monitor using their included Palette Master Element software. Results of calibration using the software coordinate with the display's hardware calibration to provide well balanced images. A supported colorimeter is needed. I use a datacolor Spyder X Pro. Other brands are supported, like Calibrite, and are available from B&H. You can consult your B&H expert to get you an appropriate one for your system. A typical display condition is that it comes out of the box too bright. If you print, with or without soft proofing, the resulting printed image is typically too dark. To counteract this I set the brightness/luminance to 80 cd/m2 from the default 120 through the Advanced then Profiling workflow options in the software. I leave the other settings at the default values and then proceed with calibration and validation. There was a noticeable difference of test images printed pre and post calibration. Post calibration prints were better than precalibration prints. This display, after calibration and soft proofing with the correct printer and paper profiles, provides the best rendered prints that I have made.

Using this cable to connect my MacBook Pro 2016 to LG 27GN800B monitor. Works perfectly!

I needed to get this cable for my 2015 MBP to connect with an LG monitor. Works perfectly and I am happy with this purchase!

The Cable was a perfect match to connect LG Monitor to 2012 Mac Book Pro. The sales person showed technical knowledge and patience. He made a perfect choice!

Excellent monitor. Easy setup and the right size. I do like the calibration having been done for you.

i was able to connect my Surface book that had never supported two external monitors !! good magic...
