Step 8: The number of colors your monitor is capable of displaying depends on several factors, including the graphics adapter, the type of monitor used, and the interface. For modular monitors, it is recommended to use DVI (Digital Video Interface) for guaranteed accuracy. Windows 10 calibration tools focus on a few areas:

• Gamma – How the red, green and blue colors are projected onto the screen to make up the color of an image.
• Brightness and contrast – How well elements appear in an image without looking washed out or too dark.
• Color Balance – The accuracy with which your monitor displays a particular shade of gray.

The accuracy will ultimately depend on your own perception. Click Next to begin the adjustment.
