Title: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Trippy on October 10, 2008, 04:04:55 AM Background on the test:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580_3-10062721-39.html The test itself: http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77 My score: 4 Monitor: Sony G420 CRT (uncalibrated) (http://boxstr.com/files/3801199_uox7x/trippy_hue_test_640.jpg) Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Tarami on October 10, 2008, 04:23:24 AM Fun test! :-) Got 4 too, almost the same hues as Trippy had. (It's a bug!)
Edit: My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 226BW Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: apocrypha on October 10, 2008, 05:00:34 AM Scored 16 on this laptop, with problems in 3 areas. Explains why I have such trouble colour balancing photos on it :oh_i_see: Will try on the calibrated monitors upstairs when my back is hurting less, see if I can do better :)
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: schild on October 10, 2008, 05:24:44 AM Thank god I've got that art degree.
(http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/39720/me/color_test.png) I got a perfect on my LG and my Gateway btw. The monitor shouldn't make a difference, this isn't a greyscale test, colors don't get crushed that much. Not how they're testing at least. Edit: Also, I wish it timed it. Took me about 3 minutes, if that, each time. Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Sobelius on October 10, 2008, 05:51:40 AM Also got a zero (perfect).
Dell M1530 laptop. Age: 42, Male. Also wished I'd timed it -- felt it took same as Schild (about 3 mins each, if that) No art degree, but my favorite color was once Pantone Matching Color 2847...

Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Strazos on October 10, 2008, 06:49:20 AM Got a 90 on this....what is it, a shitty KDS?

Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: schild on October 10, 2008, 07:00:35 AM What? Seriously? Do it again, I want to see what that graph looks like.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Trippy on October 10, 2008, 07:05:46 AM Though I don't have one to test with, I would suspect that those of you with TFT LCD monitors will have more trouble with this since most of those panels are actually 6-bit instead of 8-bit for each of the red, green, and blue pixels so you'll have more trouble distingushing between the colors.

Using a factory default set Dell E197FP (1280x1024). I didn't bother with the laptop screen, I already know it's horrid, gives me sore eyes if I look at it for more than a few minutes. Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Yegolev on October 10, 2008, 08:35:26 AM I prefer to not learn of any more personal deficiencies this week.

Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Salamok on October 10, 2008, 11:19:39 AM 32 at work, i'll have to try this again on my home monitor.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: schild on October 10, 2008, 11:28:12 AM Guys, I really really don't think monitor makes a difference. I calibrated both of mine by eye until they looked good to ME, ask Rattran, they looked terrible to him. But then, I scored a 0. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Yegolev on October 10, 2008, 11:36:35 AM We have finally discovered a use for a Fine Art degree.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Draegan on October 10, 2008, 12:44:30 PM I got a 3 on a 15" LCD Dell screen.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Brogarn on October 10, 2008, 01:20:54 PM I got an 8 and a bit of a headache.

Could there be a more boring test? I am incapable of doing more than one bar. Still, better than 864 this time! Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Murgos on October 10, 2008, 08:35:25 PM It's really a test of OCD.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Miasma on October 10, 2008, 08:40:54 PM I got an 18 with a dell. I have decided to blame the dell instead of the mind numbing thought of "why the hell am I doing this?" that came with the test.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Azaroth on October 10, 2008, 09:01:01 PM Yeah, I almost destroyed something several times when trying to get through that. Scored a 7 nevertheless.

Dell 2001 20.1" widescreen lcd. Took maybe 8-10 minutes for the whole test.

I calibrated both of mine by eye until they looked good to ME, ask Rattran, they looked terrible to him. But then, I scored a 0. :awesome_for_real: No, it really does make a difference. I've calibrated my laptop as best I can (the colourimeter I have won't work on it so I have to do it by eye with Adobe Gamma etc) and have done this test twice on it, getting 14 and 16, with problem spikes in the same areas each time. Doing it twice on the proper monitors I get perfect score each time. Sure, if you've got poor colour vision (864!) then it won't make a huge difference but if you've got good colour vision then a crappy monitor will fuck that up. I don't think the calibration makes a huge difference for this kind of test because monitor calibration is mostly about black & white points and overall colour temperature & casts, and this is a test of relative differentiation. It doesn't test for actual colour rendition accuracy at all, just discrimination between closely related hues.

Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Samwise on October 13, 2008, 10:16:16 AM 27. My results got steadily worse as I progressed through the test, so I think it is I rather than the monitor that is the weak link there.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: voodoolily on October 13, 2008, 10:32:15 AM I got an 18 on the work monitor, which I know is dark (my food photos always look off). Also, I have a ruptured blood vessel in my right eye.
I'll add that I didn't spend more than two minutes on it. Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: schild on October 13, 2008, 10:49:27 AM I think I'm gonna fuck up the hue and saturation on my monitor just to prove I can still get a zero.
excuses, excuses Actually, I'll just do it on my laptop later. I still don't believe, despite the paragraphs above, that both of my desktop monitors are ANYWHERE near perfect.

We get it, you are holy-jesus of hue recognition. :) Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: voodoolily on October 13, 2008, 12:12:40 PM I think I'm gonna fuck up the hue and saturation on my monitor just to prove I can still get a zero. excuses, excuses Actually, I'll just do it on my laptop later. I still don't believe, despite the paragraphs above, that both of my desktop monitors are ANYWHERE near perfect. To be fair, I use a black-and-white monitor at work. :why_so_serious: Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: apocrypha on October 14, 2008, 01:25:46 AM I think I'm gonna fuck up the hue and saturation on my monitor just to prove I can still get a zero. excuses, excuses Actually, I'll just do it on my laptop later. I still don't believe, despite the paragraphs above, that both of my desktop monitors are ANYWHERE near perfect. You're such a reductionist Schild :) Things are complicated sometimes! All I'm saying is that I think that both monitor quality and your own colour perceptivity (made-up word!) could affect this. I've no idea how accurate a monitor would need to be to allow a perfect score on this, all I know is that I get a worse score on a crappy laptop than on a proper monitor. Nerdedit: I'd guess that just messing with the colour balance on you rmonitor wouldn't make a huge difference unless it was a severe enough fucking up to cause channel clipping, so you might have to muck about a lot with more than just one colour channel. Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: Ingmar on October 14, 2008, 05:11:29 PM I got a 223 (and I spent a good 10 minutes on it), but then I already knew I was color-blind.
Title: Re: Test your color perception and monitor quality Post by: RhyssaFireheart on October 28, 2008, 10:43:06 AM Got a 0 as well, and I've not bothered to calibrate my monitor at all (22" Dell LCD widescreen) I wasn't sure about some of the placements but I mostly went by what just looked right to me. As Schild said - thank gods for an otherwise so far useless art degree.
I wonder how a test like this would work using greyscale... |
