hi, i am new at displaycal , and still cant seem to get my aoc
backlit led monitor to calibrat correctly, i purchased
a colormunki display but the calibration with the xrite software
is worse than no calibration, i have the colors on the monitor
that seem ok, but the whites are so bright it cause extreme eye strain
and the blacks are not very crisp, i have not used displaycal to
run a calibration yet, is there a way to just adjust the whites to something
less extreme and possibly make the blacks a bit crisper without
changing my colors, I will post my uncalibrated presettings log ,
any help would be greatly appreciated.

For starters If the room you’re in isn’t very bright, your monitor brightness at 238 cm/m may be way too high. Turn the brightness down, and let your eyes adapt (it may seem dim at first).
Looking at your uncalibrated report , your monitors white level at 7k may be uncomfortable to your eyes if in a room with not much light, try targetting 6500k and see how you get on. I find 7k a tad too high when viewing my own monitor at night time.
DisplayCals interactive display adjustment will help you target both 6500k ( a common white point to aim for) and target a lower brightness. Try hitting 120cdm brightness at first, and look away from your screen for a little while, let your eyes adjust. If you find the brightness is too dim, increase if necessary. You will probably need to drop the blue level down a little to reach 6500k white level (rgb controls on the monitor) – this should help relieve some pressure on your eyes.
Also your gamma is showing as 2.62 in the report, that’s way too high. Open the gamma setting on your monitor and turn it down a notch. For example. if it’s at 2.5, try 2.2, 2.0 etc.. Try differing values, I would try to get it as close to 2.2 (as read by the report) as possible before using DisplayCal to calibrate.
