I tried to calibrate two CRT monitors (on PCs, at 6500K, gamma 2.2) with Colorvision OptiCal Spyder and ran into the same problem. Both are Sony Trinitrons, one without separate rgb control and one with.
With the monitors Contrast set to maximum, it is impossible to adjust Brightness (even at its minimum) to bring out true black on the screen. After creating a profile at these settings, the white and 18% gray look great, but the black appears like a muddy gray. After a good monitor calibration, should the full range of tones look good? What can be causing my problem? Thanks.
