SC 1224 color temperature, gamma

Post by pixelpusher »

Hi all,

I recently got hold of an SC 1224 and was really surprised about how different its colors are compared to the NEC 1970 NXP LCD I used so far (in the 90's I did only have a SM 124 on the ST, therefore I've no idea how it should have looked in color).

The SC1224 manuals show these X/Y values

X: 0.28 ± 0.002 = 0.279 - 0.283
Y: 0.311 ± 0.002 = 0.309-0.313

which is equal with color temps in the range of [8719- 9170K] and about 9019 K as average.

Does anybody have measured color temps of what the monitor should have delivered originally and what gamma curve value these CRTs had? I doesn't look like the 2.2 gamma we usually have these days on LCDs.

Bonus question: If you use an LCD on the ST (e.g. with the RGBtoHDMI hw), what color temp and gamma do you select (or does the software of the RGBtoHDMI select)?
