I just used the software to calibrate my Dell 2219 and Dell 2421NX, and on the first tab where we can pick a colorimeter correction file, it defaults to ‘auto’ and chooses ‘none’. Is this normal behavior? I believe both of these monitors use a W-LED backlight, so I was thinking it should pick the ‘spectral LCD white LED family…”
Wondering if I should roll with auto or manually choose from the dropdown? Not sure if this matters a ton, anyway. I’m just using these for business/productivity, so color correction isn’t critical. The weird thing is, when I profiled my Asus ProArt PA278, I think I left correction on “auto” and it chose White LED.
Not sure how it autodetect the color corection. Try w-led and visually check. Does your contrast match https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/8b7f2131 . And your color gamut coverage ? If you do not know if w led is correct try without or search for a spectral correction.
Hey, thanks! Yeah, that looks like my model. I think I found it on the Dell site, too, and it said WLED. My other issue is I’m getting a green tint after cal. I used the custom color mode and tweaked the RGB sliders, then let Displaycal do it’s thing. When I compare to my calibrated laptop or main PC screen, it’s definitely got a green color cast. I’m running it now and just leaving the monitor set to ‘standard’ for color, which actually looked good OTOB, but maybe slightly warm. We’ll see what happens.
I did one cal with the WLED correction and another with none, and both had the greenish cast. I’ll see in a few mins if things look good just running it without messing with the custom color sliders…
Maybe its out of Red and Blue. There should be no flattening of red green and blue at 254 or 255. Look at white ramp and turn contrast down until you see change in white. If you had offset controls you could use those.
So….it turns out, I think there’s a problem with my i1D3 meter. I kept getting green tints, so luckily, I had an older one lying around. I hooked that up, and it was reading red 10% lower than my newer meter (I measured some white patterns using HCFR). I re-ran the cal with my older meter, and, voila, it looked fine.
Funny thing is, I just used this newer meter to recalibrate my main monitor in early Jan, and it seemed to work fine. All I can think of is that I dropped it today when getting ready to use it, but it fell out of my hand and hit the wooden floor from a few feet. Could this have damaged something? Is there any software problem that could cause it to mis-read things?

Some sRGB only display use a limited W-LED PFS phosphor, for example almost all new PD models from Benq.
To match displays when default corrections do not work as expected, use visual white point editor in the display where there is the bigger color cast using the whiter as reference.
