Hello, first of all, I apologize if my English isn’t good.
I’m a complete novice when it comes to calibrating a monitor. I’d like to know if anyone can help me calibrate it, detailing the settings I need to specify in the program. I’ll give you details about my monitor and colorimeter.
Mac m4 operating system
Monitor: MAG 321UPX QD-OLED
Specs:- QD-OLED
- Typical SDR: 250 nits
- Maximum HDR: 1000 nits
- Contrast ratio: 1500000:1
- DCI-P3*/ sRGB:99%/ 138,2%(CIE1976)
- Adobe RGB:97,5%
- 10 bit
- VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400
Monitor Calibrator: i1 Display Pro X-Rite
DisplayCAL 3.9.14
ArgyllCMS: 3.3.0.
I want to create two profiles, if possible. As I said, I’m a beginner. I want a photography profile using the Adobe RGB color space, and a video editing profile using the DCI-P3 color space. I don’t know if you can create those profiles and then add them to Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve or what the process would be to have two profiles.
My monitor only has one user profile where I can adjust the rgb values and of course the brightness.
Thank you very much in advance

Maybe different brightness settings but thats all.1 profile, default settings. If no specific colorimeter correction for QDOLED use QLED or RGBOLED. Fix white manually if due to this colorimeter correction inaccuracy “white does not look white”
2025-03-20 at 13:10 #143338Hi, thanks for responding. But I don’t understand what you mean by not needing to calibrate in multiple profiles. Do you mean that if I go into Photoshop on Mac it automatically sets the AdobeRGB space? And if I go into DaVinci Resolve it sets the DCI-P3 space? As for the other thing you mentioned, I don’t know what you’re referring to. As I said at the beginning, consider that I’m a complete novice. I’ve never used DISPLAYCAL. I’ve watched videos, but things aren’t clear to me, and if I have to activate, for example, black point and white point compensation, and many other options that I don’t know about either.

Google what color management is.
Photoshop or any color management app in Win/mac/linux will read source colorspace of a image (sRGB/AdobeRGB) and reencode its RGB numbers into another RGB numbers in display (profile) colorspace.On macOS for resolve there is a checkbox to request Resolve to do that in the sme way: “use mac profiles” or something like that, google it. = on the fly, from sour project colorspace to display colorspace.
Or you can create a LUT3D with a static/chrystalized transalation for just ONE colorspace, a LUT3D and set it into project properties, for each project.If display is good behaved, if it can be described accurately by a single curve matrix profile, use mac profiles option is easier and maybe accurate enough. Do a validation from reove output in displaycal to check it.
2025-03-22 at 19:41 #143341Hello again, I have done the calibration and I thought it was going to be pretty good because the delta is quite low or so I think but the screen looks pretty bad, I am attaching the data that the profile shows me to see if you can tell me the error as well as how the screen looks.

Nothing you attached (excluding extremely low brightness) shows a relevant issue2025-03-22 at 21:19 #143349And what value should I put 120? And how do I put it in DisplayCal? Now I attach a photo of what the screen looks like. I don’t know if the problem is the whites or the blacks, since my screen looks very white, especially considering that since they are OLED, they have pure blacks.

You do not need to put a whire level/brightness in DIsplayCAL, just put a confortable brightness value while you fix white point color. But you can set a value in whitel level if you need such guide, it will be informative: if yiu do not match taht white level in nits, displaycal will ignore it without further correction.
