Dear all,
I am characterize a monitor and I am very confused with the terms
"monitor white" vs "white point".
Are they the same or different?
i.e if I use a spectroradiometer to measure the CIE XYZ values of
three primaries RGB of my monitor, I will get the monitor white. Is
that also the white point of the RGB system of my monitor? If it is
not, what is the white point?
I often see they give a white point in the form of chromaticity
coordinates such as D65: x=..., y=..... So what are the CIE XYZ value
of D65?
One more thing, is it true that the CIE Y of a white point is always
equal to 1. Why when I read from spectroradiometer I get the resulting
values in the range from 0 to 100, and sometimes even higher than 100
(such as 100.3, 100. 5). I guess these values are the normalized
values with some certain values. Does it mean that we need to consider
what the white point is set in the spectroradiometer?
Last thing, when we say about CIE XYZ values, do we need to care what
the white point they set when they measure these values?. do CIE XYZ
values with different white points have the same chromaticity?
A lot of dummy questions, please help me out.
Thanks
