You have probably read the compatibility list and will see that even the HD3XX series is not supported with Magictune, I think that you will probably find that the more recent cards actually have an improved image enhancement capability within the cards driver software than magictune does hence there is no need for magictune support......just a guess there.

Samsung 971p is a non buttons monitor , I don't set real contrast , brightness , and other settings , any suggestions ?

Use CCC's Avivo settings.

You dont need to, thats the whole purpose of doing thru CCC which was my origional point, if CCC does it better than Magictune, why would Samsung need to bother?

Real as you term it is what your eyes see, whichever method you use it is "real". It's the graphics card that is placing the image there in the first place, maybe therefore the graphics card is best placed to adjust that image?

Then go back to CRT you ungrateful twit. >.>

You don't understand my friend monitor's "brightness / contrast" and ATi's ccc "Brightness / contrast" is totally different ,

This picture is a another monitor contrast and brightness settings menu , and magictune is something like that only It is a software
, Is it same as ATI ccc ? think again ,

I didnt say it was the same, bottom line....you have no choice.....magictune is not compatible so you can tell everyone that CCC is not as good....fine, you will still have to use it or something like it, there are other freeware programmes out there that help you callibrate an LCD monitor......google is your friend!

There are many many more.

I already know this programs but, I don't need it

Hey, to quote something that was said to me recently...

Keep civil people. When there are insults there are arguments...

Clearly you need something, perhaps you just dont know what, if you know you cant use Magictune, you dont want to use CCC, and you dont want to use any 3rd party callibration software, what exactly do you intend to do? Maybe close your eyes and pray to that elder god of callibration to do it automatically?

Not quite sure what you do want or why you posted this topic, it does not seem to me that you actually want any help. Your origional question was "how can I run Magictune with a 4850".....the answer is you cant, it's not compatible.

Complain to Samsung...they should be releasing an update version of magictune.

 

[spud107]

1 thing, if magictune has to be compatible with the graphics card then its obviosly doing it using the gpu, so ccc would be doing the same thing,
if magictune actally changed settings on the lcd it wouldnt need to be compatible with the card, only the lcd,
so wether the setting is changed in magictune or ccc its basically doing the same thing,
i could be wrong but its just my understanding of it atm.

hi, this is my first post.

first of all, magictune its not the same as using the CCC because magictune changes settings on hardware level at the display, i know the video card is sending the signal in first place, but the display knows better how to show it, not every display has the same IQ.

for the ones wanting it, magictune has been updated and now works with radeon 4850, im using it as we speak.

and i have to agree with nightbase, magictune calibration has no comparation over CCC calibration, its 2 different worlds.

beisdes, magictune permits you configure other aspects of the display such as:

input select.
sharpness.
gamma mode.
color tone.
color control.
color calibration.
customized key assignment,
and RTA.

you can download it from here, http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/learningresources/monitor/magetune/pop_download.html

im using the vista version in vista 64 (version 2.0.12 of magictune premium)

only problem so far, it does not create start menu shortcut

hope it helps

I cannot see where anyone was suggesting that CCC was as good as Magictune, simply that magictune was not available so an alternative needed to be found, although it appeared that the OP did not want to use an alternative.....simply he wanted to know how to use magictune when he had already acknowledged that he couldnt ??

you cannot see? because that was what you were saying, that ccc can do the same that magictune does, and that its not true.

and he can use magictune, the only thing he needs to do is download the latest version.

the panel is best suited to adjust the final image for the user, not the video card.

I can see, can you? I said "IF" it does it better, I didnt say it did do it better, and as you have pointed out he can NOW use Magictune......the whole point of his post was that he couldnt do it back then.....so problem solved.

Sorry, forgot to say "welcome" on my first post to you!

And CCC does most of the things including gamma, color, brightness, etc. adjustments that Magic Tunes does. So, it must just be a matter of personal tatse or bias because CCC and AVIVO work fairly well.
