In these days of testing my project take USB stick and went to an internet room to try pawn, the surprise was that it looked like on my monitor and then I realized that what I see here at home against my computer was probably what many were not looking. So a little research, you need help to calibrate my screen with respect to brightness, contrast and temperature, ie a setting I need to work properly and that everyone PERCIVA same thing I see here. For example the aplciar Dot3D in my project I looked very dark, but did not use it in other computers with the correct settings if agradabel saw. Contranste: 1 to 100 Brightness: 1 to 100 Color temperature: 0 to 9300 K What are the correct values ​​to work, for example one of the problems is that when I print something on paper, the colors are not the same and it is because my screen is misconfigured. |

There aren't any definitive settings. It'll be different for all makes/models of monitor. |

Screen configuration is "subjective". So it depends on the users eyes, the light (ergo daytime). The only thing you could provide: ingame adjustments. So you enable the users to see your light gray gradients instead of only white - or dark titangray-areas instead of black. But you cannot guarantee your game looking the same on all displays (even if it is the same model like an ipad or so). bye Ron |

Calibrate your monitor properly (google it), then work to that. If somebody else has a badly calibrated monitor - tough, really. Edit: http://www.wikihow.com/Calibrate-Your-Monitor Last edited 2012 |

Brightness/contrast is greatly dependend on the monitor and somewhat dependend on video card. Depending on what version of Windows you have: Windows 7 has a built-in display color calibration tool, dccw.exe Set your screen brightness high, start the program, and follow the prompts. There are also hardware devices that can perform a true calibration - it's a device you can attach to your display, and it will look at the actual screen, and make necessary adjustments. Not real cheap, of course. (Personally I find my 'properly calibrated' screen uncomfortable to look at for long periods of time, the bright whites can hurt my eyes after a while. I set up several different display profiles in my ATI videocard drivers -- one properly calibrated so I can make sure things really do look good, and three alternate profiles with lower gamma settings that are a lot easier on the eyes (but far to dark for some things. If I can't see enough detail in the dark parts, I can hit a keyboard shortcut to switch to a brighter profile) |
