In this article, we will discuss the importance of monitor calibration in professional projects of all kinds, focusing on the cinematic world.
1. What is Monitor Calibration
Let's start with the premise that no two monitors are alike, ever.
Any grading monitor must be calibrated, meaning adjusted according to standard parameters, allowing it to display colors correctly and in accordance with the chosen color space.
Calibration is the process of measuring and correcting the brightness, color, and contrast values of the monitor.
It serves to eliminate any deviations or errors that the monitor may have in color reproduction, due to factors such as panel technology, wear, and environmental conditions.
2. The Importance of Consistent Image
Whether you're working on a film set, preparing the presentation of an important project, or part of a graphics team, having "synchronized" interfaces at the image level is crucial for the success of your work. The importance of monitor calibration cannot be underestimated, especially when creating graphic projects for third parties.
An improperly calibrated monitor could produce dull colors and lights, making your work dull or muted on the recipients' computers. On the film set, calibrated monitors are necessary to follow the Look decided by the DOP, thus facilitating post-production work.

2.1 How often is monitor calibration necessary?
The frequency with which you should calibrate your monitor depends on various factors, including your usage, the type of monitor, and the conditions in which you operate.
In general, it is recommended to calibrate the monitor at least once a year, or even more often if you notice significant variations.
At Colorshape, we calibrate our monitors every 4 months.
