Understand that you'll need to buy a colorimeter. A colorimeter is a piece of hardware that you place on your screen; the hardware works in conjunction with some included software to calibrate your monitor's colors and brightness regardless of ambient light and other distractions. Select and buy a colorimeter based on your needs.
The Spyder line of colorimeters is generally considered to be a reputable, high-performing brand. Make sure that you buy a colorimeter that works with your operating system. Most colorimeters should work on Windows, macOS, and Linux, but cheap alternatives may be locked to a specific operating system.
Make sure you properly prepare your monitor. If you haven't set up your monitor in a neutral environment and let it warm up, do so before proceeding. It's very important to make sure that your monitor is spotless as well, since any smudges or grit may prevent the colorimeter from working correctly. Install the colorimeter's software if necessary. Some colorimeters will come with a CD that you'll use to install the colorimeter's software component.
Depending on the colorimeter, you may need to do this after plugging in the colorimeter instead of before plugging it in. Your colorimeter may install the proper software upon being plugged in. Plug in your colorimeter. You may need to turn on the colorimeter before proceeding. Follow any on-screen prompts. Once your computer recognizes the colorimeter, you should see a pop-up window appear; follow any prompts or instructions in the window.
Place the colorimeter over the screen. The colorimeter should fit in the middle of your monitor's screen with the lens facing your screen. Initiate the calibration process. Click Next or Start or similar in the pop-up window to prompt the calibration software to start running. The software should run until the calibration is complete, at which point you'll be prompted to remove the colorimeter. You may have to click through some more options or follow some on-screen prompts before or during the calibration process.
Turn off your monitor and turn it back on. If that doesn't work, fully restart your computer. Not Helpful 10 Helpful 4.

Jun 24, 2 I'm starting to get very frustrated with the whole monitor calibration saga. Now click on the Color tab and then click on the Calibrate button at the right. This will bring up the Display Calibrator Assistant introduction screen that will guide you through each of the steps.
The Mac wizard is actually pretty smart and will remove any of the steps that your monitor cannot support. For example, I ran this on my MacBook Pro laptop and the only adjustment I could make was to the target white point. For target white point, you can either use the native white point for your display or adjust it manually by unchecking the box first. I found the native white point gave a better color tint to the display than what was set when the OS was installed.
The Admin step just asks if you want to make this color profile available for other users or not and Name step lets you name your new profile. The summary screen will give you some technical details about the current color settings for your display. OS X also has another tool called the ColorSync Utility that lets you repair color profiles, view all profiles, and calculate the RGB values for any pixel on your screen.
Just click on Spotlight and type in ColorSync to load it. If you have any questions, post a comment. Founder of Online Tech Tips and managing editor. Advanced Search.
