After calibration, the MSI G27C5 has fantastic color accuracy. Any remaining color inaccuracies can’t be spotted without the aid of a colorimeter, and the color temperature is closer to the 6500K target. Gamma is also much closer to the target curve, so most scenes are displayed at their correct brightness.
During calibration, leaving the Contrast setting at its default value of 70 resulted in more inaccurate colors than if it wasn’t calibrated at all. By lowering Contrast to 55, we were able to get more accurate colors and better white balance, but that affected the monitor’s brightness and contrast ratio.
