    Are you saying that EIZO ColorEdge CS2740 hardware calibration monitor can't be properly calibrated??

    your the lazy person even asking ,go do the hard yards like everyone else. then you might be able to enter a debate with background knowledge.

    Even in theory you can't get more consistency this way. Either develop an eye for neutrality, or use numbers. Better do both.

    thats gold, if you could they wouldn't have a built in calibration tool 😂😆

    I see you resorted to talking nonsense...
    Does it bring you comfort? Is there a reason why I should tolerate it? - just curious. If there is, please let me know.

    you knew exactly what i was talking about ips monitors ,but decided to be argumentative. Im not a punching ball for everyone to kick around.

    You can either explain the above or let it go.

    I see this thread has wandered off topic (again?).

    You do realise that this bickering is putting people off from joining us. Are you doing it deliberately?

    My opinion is based on anecdotal evidence based on my phone photos and other people's sooc jpegs.

    It's not based on any scientific tests or measurements. With photos taken on bright sunny days the WB on most sooc jpegs look pretty good according to my eyes.

    So all that waffle in the past about you supposedly selling 10,000 photos was actually nonsense as I said :-)

    Your logic is if the monitor could be calibrated then it wouldn't need a calibration tool? How does that make any sense?

    So you don't know how accurate it is. My experience with auto WB is that it is inconsistent and far less accurate than using a gray card.

    Well, as it happens I did google it anyway, I just wanted to see if you actually had any information to share.

    Searching for "ips monitor calibration difficulty" doesn't give me anything about how you can't do it. It just returns page after page after page of directions for how to do it. Somewhat unexpected for something that can't be done, wouldn't you say? So - now do you have any details to share?

    I'm afraid that's what he is suggesting.

    For many people their sooc jpegs from their phones or "real" cameras look good and realistic to them.

    For many sooc jpeg photographers, phone or otherwise, the WB doesn't need to be absolutely spot on to meet their needs.

    I have managed to fit that into your top 8 stupidest posts here.

    Do you think it might be possible that monitor manufacturers might include calibration tools into their monitors so that users might not have to purchase additional hardware?

    Gotcha. That's different that saying it's "very accurate."
