Upgrading your display
PCHOOD monitor hood and digital color management

In digital video generation, photographers pay much more time on facing display than using camera everyday. So, maintaining display is an important daily work for photographers.

Display could be grossly classified into 3 main types---LCD liquid crystal display and CRT teletron display. If the display which used to process image in later period of photography is adjusted to max brightness value, color and contrast can not be update to the correct display. So brightness value of display which has been updated by software or hardware is a moderate parameter, and it can be much more likely affected by ambient light .

There is “screen soft sampling circumstance” in the international standard, which says that monitor has to have a monitor hood in order to minish the disturbing from the surrounding light source. The color is quite different after having the monitor hood, the contrast ratio has improved, and the color became pure all because that the disturbing from the surrounding light source is minished.

Therefore, adding a monitor hood for display is the most convenient and economical solution for upgrading your display.

Although the requirement for monitor hood is global, only quite a few expensive professional displays are applied with monitor hoods. It always hasn’t a universal and compatible product scheme. Worldwide designers and photographers have to handle this embarrassing problem by using various materials and ways.

Even professional work "Color Management" also suggest everyone to make a monitor hood by using blackboard and tape paper, saying” This is a worthy investment, and it can get generous reward. “(Page 190)

It is a design problem that bothers worldwide industrial designers.

Aiming at the monitor color management, we must rely on professional color management software and equipment, for example, eye-one from X-rit and Spyder from ColorVision. But color management system is not universal, it can only adjust computer display in proper and steady ambient light condition. Instead of providing a good light condition for display by the system itself, it claims higher requirement for ambient light. Therefore, avoiding ambient light to interfere the color of display is an important link. Before adjusting the display color, professional color adjusting instrument will check the ambient light first, calculate corresponding offset parameter to counteract the ambient light influence. In fact, it is a negative way.

In the processing of the display color correction equipment, the environmental ray could affect the accuracy and correctness of the color correction equipment through the gap between it and the display screen. Hence an excellent monitor hood which can shelter and remove the environmental ray is a forceful guarantee for the normal working of the display color correction equipment.
