Help: Calibrate 2009 Y monitor

[Martynas Alšauskas]

Hi there,
For two days I am trying to calibrate my monitor, however no Luck 🙁

Background:
Monitor: 2009 mode, LG3000H, in the manual written:Flat Panel Active matrix-TFT LCD, wide gammut
Monitor has only brightness button. I am unable to configure RGB
Calibrator: Spyder4
OS: MacOs Ventura.
Target: photoretouching

So I freshly migrated to MacOS and found, that my Spyder 4 is not supported (32bit), so I found out Display Cal.

I am trying everything, but I am not able to find right. Could you show me where a my mistakes? (Ive read documentation, but I cant figure this out).

How do I know that it is Off?
1. colors looks radioactive and doesnt correspond to what i see on the mobile (Samsung S20, uncalibrated)
2. report shows various errors, like  Measured vs. assumed target whitepoint ΔE*00 deviation from 3 to 14

Mode: Now I choose LCD generic (alternatives CCFL, CCFL white gammut, white led). nothing works.
Correction:Auto (none). Previously tried with various and did not work
White point: 6500
White level: 120
Calibration enviroment: curtains closed, no artifical light

I was able to figure out how to set custom white point, however even after that still I can’t pass verification (Delta ~14 diff)

You’re trying to calibrate a worn-out  monitor vith a very inprecise instrument, so the results will never be really good.

Start by updating ArgyllCMS – for which DisplayCAL is a GUI – to the latest version:

1. Download the latest version: https://www.argyllcms.com/Argyll_V2.3.1_osx10.6_x86_64_bin.tgz
2. Extracct the archive.
3. Go to File > Locate ArgyllCMS executables… 
4. Navigate to <download location>/Argyll_V2.3.1/bin and click “Select Folder”

Decrease the calibration speed from very high to high and increase the number of profiling patches to at least 175.

Try a CCFL correction.

inaccurate device, try to get an i1d3.

If you set a visual white point… you are not aiming to daylight locus, hence big Assummed vs measured whitepoint error.
All measurmenets with that innacurate device will say “off target” because you do not aim to waht that innacurate device measures as “D65” but to what you manually/vislually choose close to D65.
But even if it is not dayloght, grey should have the same color as white, taht’s teh point of using a custom white: grey color is “calibrated”
