Monitor Calibration for Most CG/VFX Artists

In this post, we will cover the topic of monitor calibration for most CG/VFX artists. So if you have been avoiding it because of the “hassle” and “expense” of getting a color calibration device, this is for you.

We will cover:
- Why calibrate your monitor?
- What is the most bang-for-buck device and software you should get, and
- How to calibrate your monitor?
