correct settings for Dell UP3214Q ? – green tinge

[FaxMax]

Hello,

I have two monitors, the Eizo FS2735 and the Dell UP3214Q. For calibration I use a Spyder5.

The settings in DisplayCAL 3.8.5 for the Eizo are as follows:

Mode: LCD White LED
Whitepoint: Color temperature 5000k
White level: Custom 100 cd/m²
Tone curve: Gamma 2.2

And the settings for the Dell:
Mode: LCD CCFL Wide Gamut
Whitepoint: Color temperature 5000k
White level: Custom 100 cd/m²
Tone curve: Gamma 2.2

I have the following settings on my Dell monitor:
Brightness/Contrast: 24%/50%

Color Settings –> Custom Color –> Gain –> Red 95 / Green 100 / Blue 77

When I start the measurement with DisplayCAL, the values are highlighted in green.
If I create a green area (255 green) after the calibration in Paint, the color noticeably does not match the Eizo. On the other hand, the blue values are okay.

Red goes a little towards magenta and green has a lot of luminance and too much saturation.

What are the correct settings in DisplayCAl for the Dell monitor?

UP3214Q is a LED widegamut, likely to be GB-LED but I’m not sure right know (check display cal ccss database and plot it).

Also your colorimeter is not a reliable device, even using some kind of generic accurate correction you may end with a white that does not look white. If that happens use a more accurate device (Xrite) or use a visual whitepoint matching approach.
