Hello,
I have recently reformatted my PC and before I was very happy with the calibration I had though the use of DisplayCal and an i1Display Pro. Somehow, I lost my i1Display Pro and ended up having to buy another one and now I am really struggling to get everything looking right.
The issues I am having:
- The gamma curve seems off, my blacks are black but midtones seem far too light and the transition between dark grey and black is very abrupt
- severe banding in the lower brightness transition area
I didn’t have these issues with my previous calibration. I am wondering if I am missing something or maybe I got a flawed calibrator this time around. I have attached both the old and new calibration archive for comparison. Sorry, it is outside my knowledge level. Obviously the monitor settings have been adjusted since I started fresh and I didn’t write down the previous settings. The old calibration still is much smoother but I would have to arbitrarily set the white point and brightness as it is a bit darker than the new calibration.
Thanks in advance!

If your driver does not have that option, you can also use DisplayCAL to override output levels via advanced options and re-calibrating (not recommended, but it seems that is how your old profile was created).
Interesting, I wonder why it is different.
Would I re-calibrate afterwards? I have switched back and forth after finding similar advice on the forums but I didn’t notice a difference one way other the other although I don’t think I recalibrated afterwards.
So I am trying to re-calibrate but it is giving me an error about the measured luminance difference between RGB level 0 and 16 is below 0.02 cd/m^2.
I don’t remember having this error before. I will try anyways but I wonder if something else is off.

See above. Your graphics driver is misconfigured.

You told me to set them that way…

Set 16-235 in the graphics driver if you have that option. I cannot know what graphics hardware or driver you are using.

This error had NOTHING to do with the graphics card configuration, in my case.
The new freshly installed DisplayCAL sets the i1 Pro / i1 Studio devices in High Res mode by default. And it DOES NOT WORK in Hi Res mode! This stupid bug cost me hours of troubleshooting. However, switching to “normal” mode, all works as usual.
