My display has White LED background light.
Accordingly I chose “LCD White LED” in the mode dropdown. As soon as I choose “Spectral: LCD White LED family” for the correction the mode automatically gets changed back to “LED (generic)”. Changing the mode back to “LCD White LED” on the other hand automatically changes correction to “None”.
How can I set up DisplayCAL for my display?
-Spyders are innacurate, get an i1d3 colorimeter: i1DisplayPro, Colormunki Display, I1display studio. Only the 1st one can be used with monitors with HW calibration (internal HW calibration)
-upper right is bundled modes in device, central one is CCSS corrections (for i1d3, spyder4&5). If want to use Datacolor modes must set the upper right.
-Choosing one or another your Spyder may be innacurate
Calibrite Display Pro HL on Amazon Calibrite Display SL on Amazon

In the meantime, I’d like to work with my Spyder5. Even if it is inaccurate. Which is less inaccurate (more accurate): choosing White LED in the top right or in the middle?
IDNK, Datacolor Spyder4/5 corrections were for white and 10nm while i1d3 corrections are 3-10nm (custom) WRGB or 1nm WRGB (from Xrite EDR or custom with high end gear), but Datacolor Spyder4/5 “display modes” may use something builtin.
I use a Spyder 5. I choose LCD White LED and I leave Correction on Auto (None). I get excellent results with that.
