I'm still a beginner trying to understand the science behind all this, so please forgive any misunderstandings. From what I gather about metamerism in monitor calibration: two displays can show the exact same RGB values but still look different, because their backlights or primaries emit different spectra.
What I don't fully understand is — how do you decide which display is the reference? Why choose an LED or CRT as the standard instead of an OLED? The white point on an OLED might look different from an older display, but does that actually mean it's worse?
I'm working with a single monitor setup, so metamerism might not really apply to me unless you're saying that the white point on OLEDs is inherently inaccurate and should be visually corrected using another display technology that renders white more 'correctly'. Is that the case? Assuming that reference display's whitepoint is correctly calibrated. |
