Testing the Colour Accuracy of Your Display and Eyes!

Here is the Challenge! Dare to Try? ;-)

http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77

With an accurate monitor and display plus good eyes of yours, you should get the lowest possible score! Hope you could get a Zero mark then~

Btw, you're welcome to report back your score, by putting a comment to this post.

4 points, I think it's very nice. The only problem is that in the result page I can't have a comparison if I've done well, as it says
"Best score for your gender and age range: -11840" and "Highest score for your gender and age range: 11722", which is somewhat strange as it just goes from 0 to 99....

Good result, congrats!

Btw, the database and records shown at their site may not be correct.
Wow, I scored 33. Great test!
Hi, I scored 0 w/ Samsung SM 2343NW. Is this test really relevant for colorimetry ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/quatrecouleurs/50593...

Its Time Consuming!
22 after some effort. I could see some were out of place still (maybe 5 or so) but no matter where I moved them they looked worse. This on a 4 year old iMac screen. Now, if there was a 7-point ROYGBIV test I reckon I could ace it! ;-)

If the display just can't output any difference, it is impossible for the user to "distinguish" between them! :-o

21 .. but i swear it was my monitor fault :-)
11 from a laptop
14 on an Acer 17" laptop. Not great result but I enjoyed the test very much. Thanks for sharing.
7 on a laptop screen.
I've finished with "6" on the new 27" iMac i7. I guess it's pretty good, right?

My result: 4 points on 17´´ Acer laptop. It's not entirely perfect score, but I can live with it :-)
I scored 3 on my wife's 15" macbook pro.

I've done the test before, but this time I took more care! Still hard at 11pm on a Friday night after beer, wine and whisky!

I will try it with my children on my 17" macbook. Their new eyes should help, and I've found that while the 17" is less bright then the 15", it has excellent colour reproduction.
