I'm running OS X on a hackintosh, using a Viewsonic G90fb 19" CRT. Under Display properties, under the color tab, I have a handful of display profiles to choose from:

 

Adobe RGB (1998)

G90fb (** which I can calibrate)

Generic RGB Profile

sRGB Profile

 

 

Which of these should I be running to get the best/most accurate color results? I am editing video and I want to accurately know what it will look like on TV screens, as well as PC monitors.

 

What is the difference between these, and which should I choose? (ie should I calibrate my monitor under the g90fb? Use the classic Adobe? etc.), and why?

 

Thanks so much!

Thanks Sith Lord Mac. I was hoping for an explanation, too. Why is that one the best, and what is the difference between the other ones? Would I want to use different settings with a different monitor? Is there anytime I might want to use another one? Why or why not?

 

Thanks so much!
