Good People…

Just purchased a new monitor for the recording studio…an LG L227WTG FLATRON LCD. Went w/ the glossy screen technology (or whatever LG dubs it) in order to have mo better detail & clarity when working on the graphics side of the equation…Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

But, speaking of Photoshop…when I open it now…I get a warning message that reads: The Monitor Profile "LG 227W" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.

What does this mean (aside from the obvious)?

This will be my first high quality graphic experience in PC land; &…since I’m also designing not only my own CD jackets & insert booklets (on the CMYK end)…I’m designing my own web pages (on the RGB end). I need to get this right, so my presentation colors don’t look silly.

Thanks,

mark4man

That happens with all four of my LG monitors and I just ignore the profile but I’m not doing presentations or web pages.
