Native WhitePoint
Posted by Larisa Bolli on 20 July 2009 09:07 AM
When talking about monitors, Native Whitepoint is the color temperature (or shade of white) that the monitor uses when there is no calibration and profiling applied to that monitor. Usually, resetting the monitor back to its factory defaults can reset the monitor to its Native Whitepoint. This is most commonly done through the monitors On Screen Display/Menu options.
Color temperatures range from low figures (below 2000K), which are red/orange through to blue white (above 9000K). Most uncalibrated monitors are set to factory default of 9300K is a very bright bluish white.
If you are profiling a digital display LCD, you should reset the monitor to factory defaults and calibrate using native Whitepoint.
