I'm looking for a way to calibrate my monitor. I have it hooked up to a PS3 via HDMI and my 360 via DVI-D. Both are set to 1080p RGB extended. I'm a little confused about how I shoudl have my video output set for my PS3 and whether that will change how I calibrate it (RGB vs Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr). My monitor is a Dell 2408wfp, but I couldn't figure out what it expected as an input over HDMI, but both options seem to work. Looking at the manual for the monitor it seems my menu options will change depending on whether it is receiving RGB or YPbPr source. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/2408WFP/en/UG/operate.htm#Using the OSD
The only thing I have for calibrating displays is that THX optimizer, but it relies on having colour and tint adjusters, where I just have RGB adjustments on my monitor.
Most monitor calibration tools create those colour profiles for windows, but I want to calibrate my monitor for use on the PS3 and 360.
There has to be freely available ways of doing this by now, that don't rely on the use of a light monitor and whatnot. I honestly don't need it to be super accurate because I'm not doing anything pro, but I feel like I could do better than the monitor defaults.
I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to stuff like this, but I've sound a crazy amount of conflicting info by googling. There are so many people talking out their ass.
