What does being off mean? If that's how everyone sees it, isn't that what you should use as reference instead of a device with "correct" rendering that only a few people uses?

- wodenokoto 4y agoSure, if every single monitor is off the same way.
- amarshall 4y agoBeing “off” means that what the monitor emits is not exactly what it should have been. Too bright, too dark, too red, too whatever. There is no one “off”, every display is differently incorrect, so it would be impossible to use as a reference. The correct reference is a sufficiently accurate representation what every display aims to be, even if they don’t quite get there. That’s what calibration does: get closer to the target all displays are trying to achieve.
- mahdi7d1 4y agoEach screen is off in some way but not the same way. By grading on a screen that is properly color graded you prevent the picture from looking trash on some. Imagine color being off is a vector in 2D space starting from origin. It can be in any direction. If your monitor is off too then your color error vector would be added to the consumer's color error vector. It might make the color even better for some when those two vectors cancel each other but make it outright unbearable for other's. That's my understanding of it and not very accurate.
