Never take life, or anything in it, too seriously.
Well, I was recently having some 'fun' with graphics cards (well, AMD APU) after the Win10-FCU update - and long-story-short, I realized that my monitor profile is a year old! I know I keep meaning to break out my i1Display Pro, but still - I didn't think that I've kept meaning to do that for that many months. :laugh:
Once I finally got that profile installed again via Displaycal/Argyll, and working automatically after each reboot, I noticed that the color already looked much better than the 'unprofiled' state - or whatever was being used during the problem period... Which, along with another recent thread, pushed me into asking about the frequency issue.
I'm not a professional. I don't do art reproduction. I'm only a hobbyist mostly into landscapes that has yet to even show any of my 'fine art' type of work - but may do so at some point. I think I've read calibration should be done every 2 weeks or so, but I would think that's a bit overkill for a hobbyist. I would think for a hobbyist not doing art reproduction, maybe every 2 or 3 months should be fine IMO. I mean, even in a year there shouldn't be TOO much of a change, right? Reds aren't going to become purple, are they? I would think the biggest thing to account for would be the gradual dimming of the LED backlight, or am I wrong on that point?
.... Which reminds me --- I'm going to go in my closet and finally get that damn calibrator out - right NOW!
