    Next week I will be getting a Dell XPS15 laptop with a 4K “100% Adobe RGB” display.  Are there any settings I should pay particular attention to when calibrating a wide gamut display?  What settings should I use?  Any Windows settings I should look at?

    I will also be calibrating an external monitor, a Dell P2715Q 4K with 80%ish Adobe RGB.

    I am using an i1Display Pro.  What is the best choice(s) for “Correction”?

    Does DisplayCAL output the %ProPhoto gamut of a display?

    No specific calibration settings are needed.

    I don’t know what type of backlight that display has. Possibly Dell’s GB-LED, as it’s wide-gamut.

    Does DisplayCAL output the %ProPhoto gamut of a display?

    No, because that would not be a very useful metric – ProPhoto extends outside the spectrum locus and thus contains a portion of imaginary (= not real) colors.

    Hey! Thanks for this reply.

    I too have a Dell XPS 15 4K and in the middle of trying to get the color accurate and had a few questions.

    Prior to using DisplayCAL, I was using the X-Rite software that came with my ColorMunki Display and noticed a HUGE difference between DisplayCAL and X-Rite’s results. X-Rite produced a considerably darker and orange tinted display, compared to DisplayCAL’s brighter and cooler temperature. Can you explain this discrepancy? According to pretty much everyone on the internet, DisplayCAL is king. So I guess I’m wondering how X-Rite thinks it can get away with calling any of their products calibrators?

    I am currently working as a freelance photographer and videographer, using Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Are there any special settings I need to concern myself if I want accuracy for clients for posting online or to print?

    Thanks!
