Screen calibration

Hi, I have a question. Since few weeks I've started to learn Lightroom. And all would be great, but colours on my monitor are not same as on my Samsung phone. I guess many of you are more advanced than me... How did you solve this problem?

Marta Tomaszewska After many years of workarounds I've finally bought a monitor with 99% coverage of AdobeRGB and 100% of SRGB that support hardware calibration and x-rite i1 display pro 😉

Depending on kind of monitor you can try to adjust settings (does it have srgb colorspace?) to have it look similar to samsung. I've made it with the reference card and jpg file from my lab. You can try with calibration with spyder or similar cheaper calibrator - for me it somehow worked even for old laptops. I just needed to remember that everything looks colder there 😉

I used to say that mobiles are quite good reference for colors but it's not always true - I've compared my S9 to my friends S8 and we had different results. So be careful with wanting it to be like on the phone 😉

Rafal Color Checker makes it properly. Just take a picture of color checker plate and try to establish the best colours on your LIGHTROOM. If you wish to print it as your lab about colour informations
