Big issues getting good srgb value with displaycal

[Girafingo]

Hi there,

I’m a first time user of Displaycal – I have experienced the following issues:

My ASUS monitor has a 100% SRGB – it’s 2 months old. When I previously used my Spyder 5 Pro – it would calibrate and confirm 99% SRGB. However the Spyder wasn’t reliable in terms of colour. When I tried the Spyder 5 Pro with displaycal it resulted in my SRGB value going down to 57%.

I then tried using an X-rite I1 Display Pro with displaycal – and also ensured the correction used the X-Rite colour settings – this gets my monitor up to 87% SRGB – but I can’t get up to the high 90s SRGB. I found that when amending the RGB values in the monitor if i keep one colour to 100 and adjust the other two accordingly it returns a better SRGB. I put my patches up to 2000. However despite all that i’m frustrated that I can’t get to near 100% srgb on my new monitor.

Any ideas?

Hi,

what’s the exact model of your monitor? Did you disable all its “dynamic” functionality (if it has any)?

Hi mate, it’s a PB278QR 27 inch IPS Professional Monitor. All auto dynamic functions have been turned off.

Seems sRGB 100%

Maybe you are using sRGB preset with some gamut limitation instead of native, move to user/custom OSD mode and reset allvalues to factory default like 6axis controsl or something like that. Just tweak brightness control and RGB gains.
Also attach profile or plot CIE a*b* 2D gamut plot so you/we can see where are gamut boundaries
