Dealing with a VA panel that seemingly can only emit pure red for skin color. I’ve tried every variation of red, green, and blue possible and ran like 30 ICC’s. Has anybody else run into this issue?
The consensus right now is the Colormunki Smile is not adequate to profile a monitor such as this AOC U3277PWQU. I’m not expecting the accuracy of an IPS but in this case it just feels like complete inaccuracy.
Only color managed applications can show accurate color. This is a wide-gamut screen, so non-color-managed applications will be over-saturated.

I wish I could buy a moment of your time because its so valuable. Are you saying Displaycal is a non-color managed application or is there another application that you could suggest? Any direction you could point to would help a ton.
DisplayCAL is a calibration & profiling tool.
It can correct white & grey… and also store a measured display description in a ICC/ICM profile.Color managed apps or enviroments read ICC/ICM profiles created with DisplayCAL (or other tools) to render images as intended.
For example Firefox, GIMP, Adobe suite, some video players… etc.Non color managed apps do not translate RGB numbers in images (supposed to be sRGB/Rec709) to the RGB numbers in your display that represent the same color… so if display gamut is much bigger than sRGB you see all oversaturated if you do not use color management apps (office, other internet browsers, non color managed video players, games… almost everything).
To avoid that a lot of displays have a “sRGB” mode in OSD which has a gamut limited to sRGB. So even in a “no number translation” situation (no color management) things look more or less as you saw them in the past with other sRGB-like monitors.
If you find that you are lost, use that sRGB mode and make a profile with DisplayCAL for that OSD mode to fix minor issues like white and gamma.DisplayCAL is a calibration & profiling tool.

Appreciate the detail in the reply.
