I think Eizo has a menu on the monitor itself where you can set gamma. I've just checked my Eizo menus, there's nothing there for gamma. It's probably because it's disabled when the monitor is hardware calibrated to set parameters in the software (ColorNavigator6). Terry Thanks to Mike and Terry. I checked the Eizo menus before starting this subject, and nothing menu wise was working. Just checked again and the menus are now there, but the color item is greyed out, so I think the ColorNavigator 6 is in charge. I just find it interesting, A little or no knowledge is a dangerous thing Jeff Further to above. I emailed the question to Eizo. They 'phoned me at 11am and we had a chat. It appears the Gamma Test is for when there is a problem with a monitor, presumably the results are helpful to those who know what they are talking about. That gets me off the hook Also, when using the ColorNavigator it takes control and some of the menu items are disabled to keep those like me from meddling and messing things up I must say I am impressed with Eizo support, they were most concerned that the monitor was performing OK. So I now have two support ratings at 100%+ ddisoftware and Eizo Jeff

Hi Jeff, I must have misunderstood about the gamma you are using. Attached two screen dumps.
Gamma One - as per Eizo test Gamma Two - as adjusted (note actual screen shows logo blended into background. Dumped screen still shows faintly the logo.
I'm puzzled as the why you are getting a gamma value that is nowhere near the calibration value. Your second shot shows significant contrast on the logo. So is that really what you can see on the monitor? I tried a reduced size screen shot but it does not show does not what I see on the screen in the test, too much contrast for some reason. The actual test does work for me and I get gamma 2.2 but it takes a little practice to use and it's better to stand back from the monitor to judge it. Terry I am also puzzled, all the other tests are OK. Leaving well alone for now. I will do more checking later. Off line rest of day. Jeff

Hello Terry
I am using gamma 2.2
I am curious regarding the results of running the Eizo screen gamma test.
Attached two screen dumps.
Gamma One - as per Eizo test Gamma Two - as adjusted (note actual screen shows logo blended into background. Dumped screen still shows faintly the logo.
I can just read the text box on these reduced images.

Interesting update. Another good concise video, but, what a time waster Smiley When the video finished my 'system memory' suggested "Irina Markova - Yak54" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS-NH0VFDok 40 minutes of interesting flying. Dinner was late last night. Jeff, Let's be honest. The only reason we sat through that entire video of this woman pilot doing loops and roll overs was because we were waiting for a sustained 180 degree rotation followed by a wardrobe malfunction. Fred AH, did you not notice that she was continually adjusting her harness. Seriously I was impressed with the video quality, it looked very good on my Eizo. I have posted a question on the Eizo under Printers. Jeff

and camera on auto. Go on, have another 'go' at me. . I will! Do you ever check an image WB out in raw refine by using a know grey area in the image? That at least would be a good idea. I do that sometimes as the grey card shot(s) are not always truly representative. 79 quid made me cough You can't take it with you. Terry That is exactly how I treat the white balance problem, if I think image is off colour balance, ctrl key and select a grey area, if I don't like that result resort to manual, mark one eye ball. There will be almost nothing left to take with me. Just enough to engrave stone "I told you I was poorly. Grumpy" Jeff [/quote]
