Hi
I was starting to vote on Strenght challenge , where i saw calibration strip and i saw last 3 boxes on black side were same. My guess is that my black point calibration is wrong as per dpc chart.

I did my calibration using help from Monitor calibration Guide
As per their charts my calibration is correct.
Do i stick to that or again do blackpoint calibration once again. This calibration is not for dpc but for my need to to printing

I used Adobe Gamma and the last 3 are black. I believe I read somewhere that each bar is suppose to be 50% of the next one. So I added a bit of brightness to the setting and the 3 bars are visible as different shades of black.

Funny thing is I'm watching Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and they had a color bar to adjust your t.v. to the correct settings.

I just saved the strip and viewed it through irfan view, i could much better than what i could see using explorer.

I adjusted my brightness while viewing the strip in adobe and i adjusted brightness.

Yet when i view same strip in web page while voting , i see last couple of boxes as black.

So my question what should i adjust for , web page, or adobe
