校准应该是您购买新显示器时首先要做的事情。调整基本设置可以提高色彩准确性和整体观看体验。而且,如果您将显示器用于颜色很重要的任何事情(如摄影或设计),那么颜色校准至关重要——这包括您的伽马设置。
在本文中,我们将向您展示如何更改 Windows 11/10 伽玛设置并改善显示器的色彩输出。
什么是伽玛?
显示器的伽马级别描述了每个亮度级别下每个像素的亮度。伽玛越低,阴影越亮,反之亦然。较低的 gamma 使您的屏幕看起来“更平坦”并且更加褪色,而更高的 gamma 导致更高的对比度。
每台显示器的理想伽马设置会略有不同,有些显示器有额外的伽马模式,可让您进一步调整显示器。标准 gamma 为 2.2(对于 sRGB 颜色空间)。2.2 的 Gamma 值通常会为Windows(Windows)提供最准确的颜色结果。
良好的 Gamma 设置会产生更高的图像质量和深度(higher image quality and depth),而较差的 Gamma 会冲掉阴影或高光中的细节。
亮度(Brightness)和对比度设置也会影响伽马的校准,因此请确保同时进行这三个设置。但是,请记住,如果没有更高级的色彩管理软件,大多数显示器将无法实现完美的伽玛(或其他色彩设置)。
注意:(Note:)如果您的显示器模糊不清,您可能需要更改其分辨率(change its resolution)而不是 Gamma 设置。
如何在Windows 11/10Gamma 设置(Gamma Settings)
更改屏幕的伽玛设置很容易,可以按如下方式完成:
- 按Windows key + I 打开设置(Settings)。
- 选择系统(System)。
- 在左侧菜单中,选择显示(Display)。
- 在显示多显示器(Multiple displays)的地方,选择高级显示器设置(Advanced display settings)。
- 为显示器 1 (或您要更改的任何显示器) 选择显示器适配器属性。(Display adapter properties for Display 1)
- 选择色彩管理(Color Management)选项卡并选择色彩管理...(Color Management…)
- 选择高级(Advanced )选项卡。
- 选择校准显示(Calibrate display)。这将打开显示颜色校准(Display Color Calibration)向导。按下一步(Next)访问校准。
- 上下移动滑块,直到圆圈中心的点最不明显(使用下面提供的“Good Gamma”图像作为指导)。
- 完成(Complete)向导。您可能希望校准亮度、对比度、颜色和文本可读性。如果没有,您可以跳过这些部分。
注意:(Note:)您可能无法使这些点看起来与“Good Gamma”图像相同。不用担心; 试着让它尽可能接近。直接调整液晶(LCD)显示器的伽马设置也可能对此有所帮助。
更改监视器 Gamma 设置
大多数液晶显示器(LCD monitors)都可以调整伽马设置。为此,请按显示器本身的菜单按钮打开显示器的设置菜单。每台显示器都会略有不同,但应该有一个查看“图片设置”或类似内容的选项。
在这里,应该有亮度、对比度、锐度和伽玛选项。选择(Select)gamma 并调整值,直到您的 gamma 有所改善。对于这种方法,使用在线伽马校准工具更容易。
使用(Use)在线伽马校准工具(Online Gamma Calibration Tool)
在线校准伽马设置的最受欢迎的工具是Lagom。他们的校准图像如下所示:
Windows 11/10伽马设置的目标是让 2.2 左右的明暗带“混合”。这意味着,在显示器的正确伽马设置下,明暗值(在图片中非常明显)应该几乎无法区分。
另一个工具是W4zt 屏幕颜色测试(W4zt Screen Color Test)。这比Lagom更快,因此如果您需要即时调整设置,这是一个不错的选择。只需(Simply)调整显示器的伽玛、亮度和对比度滑块,直到 2.2 正方形与周围网格的阴影大致相同。
(Adjust Gamma Settings)使用图形(Graphics)驱动程序调整 Gamma 设置
某些显卡驱动程序允许您调整伽马设置(以及其他校准(among other calibrations))。最好使用 Windows 校准的伽马设置,但有些显示器响应不佳。在这种情况下,尝试使用显卡软件进行补偿也无妨。
对于NVIDIA显卡,请执行以下操作:
- 右键单击您的桌面并选择NVIDIA 控制面板(NVIDIA Control Panel)。
- 在边栏中的显示(Display)下选择调整桌面颜色设置(Adjust desktop color settings)。
- 根据需要调整Gamma滑块。
Perfect Windows 11/10 伽玛(Gamma)设置
根据您的显示器,在 Windows 11/10 上实现完美的伽马设置几乎是不可能的,但您绝对可以改进它。购买新屏幕时,花点时间调整基本的显示器设置是值得的,因为无论您是在看电影、玩游戏还是只是打字,它都可以极大地改善您的体验。
How To Change Windows 11/10 Gamma Settings
Calibration should be the first thing you do when yoυ buy a new monitor. Adjusting your basic settings can improve the colоr accuracy and overall viewing experience. And, if you’re using your monitor for anything whеre color is important (like photography or desіgn) then color cаlibration is paramount—and this includes your gamma settings.
In this article, we’ll show you how to change your Windows 11/10 gamma settings and improve your monitor’s color output.
What Is Gamma?
Your monitor’s gamma levels describe the luminance of each pixel at each level of brightness. The lower the gamma the brighter the shadows and vice versa. Lower gamma makes your screen look “flatter” and more washed out, while higher gamma results in higher contrast.
The ideal gamma settings will be slightly different for every monitor, and some monitors have extra gamma modes which let you tweak your display further. The standard gamma is 2.2 (for the sRGB color space). A gamma value of 2.2 will generally give the most accurate color results for Windows.
Good gamma settings result in higher image quality and depth, while poor gamma can wash out detail in the shadows or highlights.
Brightness and contrast settings will also affect the calibration of gamma, so make sure to do all three at the same time. But, keep in mind that most monitors will not achieve perfect gamma (or other color settings) without more advanced color management software.
Note: If your monitor is blurry, it’s likely that you need to change its resolution rather than gamma settings.
How To Change Gamma Settings in Windows 11/10
Changing your screen’s gamma settings is easy and can be done as follows:
- Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.
- Select System.
- In the left-hand menu, select Display.
- Where it says Multiple displays, select Advanced display settings.
- Select Display adapter properties for Display 1 (or whichever display you’re changing).
- Select the Color Management tab and select Color Management…
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Select Calibrate display. This will open the Display Color Calibration wizard. Press Next to access the calibration.
- Move the slider up and down until the dots in the center of the circles are the least visible (use the “Good Gamma” image provided below as a guide).
- Complete the wizard. You may wish to calibrate your brightness, contrast, color, and text readability. If not, you can skip these sections.
Note: You probably won’t be able to make the dots look identical to the “Good Gamma” image. Don’t worry; just try to get it as close as possible. Adjusting your LCD monitor’s gamma settings directly may help with this as well.
Change Monitor Gamma Settings
Most LCD monitors will have the ability to adjust gamma settings. To do so, open your monitor’s settings menu by pressing the menu button on the monitor itself. Every monitor will be slightly different, but there should be an option to view “picture settings” or something similar.
Here, there should be options for brightness, contrast, sharpness, and gamma. Select gamma and adjust the value until your gamma improves. For this method, it’s easier to use an online gamma calibration tool.
Use an Online Gamma Calibration Tool
The most popular tool for calibrating your gamma settings online is at Lagom. Their calibration image looks like this:
The goal for Windows 11/10 gamma settings is to get the light and dark bands at around 2.2 to “blend”. What this means is, at the correct gamma settings for your monitor, the light and dark values (which are very visible in the picture) should be almost indistinguishable.
Another tool is the W4zt Screen Color Test. This is quicker than Lagom, so if you need to adjust your settings on the fly it’s a good choice. Simply adjust your monitor’s gamma, brightness, and contrast sliders until the 2.2 square is about the same shade as the surrounding grid.
Adjust Gamma Settings With Graphics Drivers
Some graphics card drivers allow you to adjust your gamma settings (among other calibrations). It’s better to use the Windows-calibrated gamma settings, but some monitors respond poorly. In this case, it can’t hurt to try and use the graphics card software to compensate.
For NVIDIA graphics cards, do the following:
- Right-click your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
- Choose Adjust desktop color settings under Display in the sidebar.
- Adjust the Gamma slider as required.
Perfect Windows 11/10 Gamma Settings
Achieving perfect gamma settings on Windows 11/10 can be nearly impossible depending on your monitor, but you can definitely improve it. It’s worth taking your time to adjust your basic monitor settings when you buy a new screen as it can seriously improve your experience whether you’re watching movies, playing games, or just typing.
