Using ColourSpace to calibrate an ASUS monitor

ColourSpace is a colour management and calibration system that is widely used in the professional film and TV industry. It is also available for home cinema enthusiasts.

To use ColourSpace to calibrate an ASUS monitor, you will first need to check that your hardware meets the minimum requirements. ColourSpace will run on any laptop or PC that can run full Windows 10 and uses OpenGL 3.2 or later for graphics.

Next, you will need to purchase a ColourSpace license. These are available for single PC use only and can be deactivated and moved to a new PC up to five times. You can purchase a multiple-access license at a discounted price if you require multiple PC/user use.

Once you have downloaded and installed ColourSpace, you will need to connect your PC and display to use ASUS ProArt Calibration. This requires:

• Image transmission: HDMI/DisplayPort or USB-C/Thunderbolt can be used
• Data transmission: can be connected to the USB-C/Thunderbolt hole of the monitor through the USB-A to C cable

You can then follow the ASUS ProArt Calibration instructions to calibrate your monitor. This includes:

• Setting the parameters you want to apply
• Confirming that the "Use HDR" option in the Windows display settings is turned off
• Confirming that the Preset mode in the OSD menu is set to a non-HDR mode (e.g. standard, sRGB, DCI-P3)
• Selecting your colour meter model and checking if you need to change the colour meter profile
• Choosing whether to calibrate the uniformity of the monitor using a 3x3 or 5x5 grid
• Measuring the brightness by placing the colour meter on the marked position and clicking "Start"
• Beginning the colour calibration by pressing "Start" and following the instructions to place the colour meter on the marked position
• Viewing the calibration results report and saving the parameter values if desired
• Applying the calibration data to User Mode 1/2 or Preset Mode

How to calibrate an ASUS monitor with the Radeon software

Calibrating your ASUS monitor is essential to ensure accurate colours and consistency across your display. The process involves adjusting settings like brightness, colour temperature, and colour gamut. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to calibrate an ASUS monitor using the Radeon software:

Step 1: Access Radeon Settings

Right-click on your desktop and select the Radeon option from the menu. This will open the Radeon software settings, where you can adjust various display settings.

Step 2: Disable Vari-Bright

In the Radeon settings, navigate to the "Display" section. Look for the "Vari-brite" or "Vari-bright" setting and disable it. This setting can cause over-bright or washed-out colours, and disabling it can improve colour accuracy.

Step 3: Connect Your Devices

Ensure that your computer is connected to your ASUS monitor using the appropriate cables. If your computer supports Thunderbolt 3, a single Thunderbolt connection is sufficient for both video and data transmission. Otherwise, use either a Display Port or HDMI connection along with a USB connection for data exchange between your computer and the monitor.

Step 4: Install ASUS Calibration Software

Download and install the ASUS ProArt Calibration software, which is available for both Windows and macOS. This software will help you calibrate your monitor and maintain colour accuracy. You can find the software on the ASUS website or the ASUS Download Center.

Step 5: Launch Calibration Software

Once the connections are made, launch the calibration software on your computer. The software will automatically confirm that all the connections have been done correctly.

Step 6: Set Up Calibration Parameters

Follow the prompts in the calibration software to set up the parameters for the calibration process. This includes selecting the probe you are using for calibration and choosing whether to perform a Uniformity calibration.

Step 7: Measure Monitor Brightness

The software will guide you through measuring the monitor's brightness. Place your probe over the target area on the screen and click "Start". This will adjust the monitor's brightness according to the settings selected earlier.

Step 8: Warm Up the Monitor

After adjusting the brightness, the software will display a timer, indicating that the monitor needs to warm up for at least 30 minutes before proceeding. You can choose to bypass this step if necessary.

Step 9: Perform Main Calibration

Click "Next" to initiate the main calibration process. Position your probe over the target area on the screen and click "Start". The process will take a little over ten minutes to complete.

Step 10: Review Calibration Report

Once the calibration is finished, review the Calibration Report on the screen. If you are satisfied with the results, click "Apply" to save the data to the monitor's User Mode area.

Step 11: Name and Save Your Profile

Finally, name your profile and select the User Mode area where you want to store the calibration data. Click "Save", and your ASUS monitor will be calibrated according to your preferences.

Remember to calibrate your monitor periodically to maintain accurate colours and consistency. The ASUS ProArt Calibration software also includes a reminder feature to notify you when it's time to recalibrate your monitor.

ASUS ProArt Calibration: Saving color parameter profiles

ASUS ProArt Calibration is a free software that helps users calibrate their ProArt displays. It is compatible with both macOS and Windows and works with most major calibrators, including those from X-Rite, Datacolor, and Klein.

The software saves all color parameter profiles on the internal scaler IC chip of the ProArt monitor, instead of the PC. This allows users to connect the monitor to different devices without needing to adjust settings. The monitor can be calibrated, and the look-up table can be rewritten, ensuring consistent and precise colors.

To download ASUS ProArt Calibration, go to the ASUS Download Center, enter the model name, and click on Driver & Utility. Then, select the OS and click on Download for ASUS ProArt Calibration.

Once downloaded, double-click on the ASUS ProArt Calibration icon to start the application. Ensure that the "Use HDR" or "High Dynamic Range" option in the display settings is turned off, and set the Preset mode in the OSD menu to a non-HDR mode. If using the PA32UCX series, PA27UCX series, or PQ22UC, color reset the mode to be calibrated before use.

The first step in color calibration is to set the parameters you want to apply. Some models allow you to select the Preset mode to calibrate, while others require you to set custom parameters. After setting the parameters, click on "Start Calibration" to begin the color calibration process.

By saving color parameter profiles on the monitor's internal scaler IC chip, ASUS ProArt Calibration provides a seamless and efficient way to calibrate ProArt displays, ensuring consistent and precise colors across different devices and applications.
