    Hello im new here.

    I just want to know how to calibrate my monitor to get a good white balance, i use sypder x pro for the calibration too and my monitor is the new Xiaomi Mini Led.

    Im just wondering if im doing something wrong, because im new to this and i dont know what im doing. So sorry if im slow in this topics

    I just follow this steps:

    1.Install  Argy ||
    2.Instrument self calibration
    3.Go to Calibration
    4.Point  White Native
    5.White level Native
    6.Gamma Curve 2.2
    7.Calibration Velocity Fast
    8.Go to Display & Intrument
    9.Select my Spider X Pro, Type Generic
    10. Correction None

    I attached the results. Is this how its suppose to be?

    4.Point White Native

    =

    Do not change white…. whcih is the opposite you want. Choose typical D65 instead (6500K daylight curve)

    9.Select my Spider X Pro, Type Generic

    Colorimeters have filters that simulate standrad observer..but the are not equal, They need a correction for each spectral power distribution.
    Unfortunatelly SPyders have a very generic correction for ALL widegamut LED backlights, very different between each other.
    No correction/mode (“Mode”) usually gives you an “non visually white” whitepoint when aiming to D65. Choosing “wide LED” for LED widegamuts usually have same poor results.

    Nobody buy spyders if he has a nimumum knowdledge about this things (or want to test these subpar devices), usually you buy as a minumum device an i1d3 form Xrite /calibrite

    I only use the calibrator to set a white point; I don’t need any ICC profiles because I don’t work with photos. I just use it for web browsing and video games. Honestly, when I calibrate the white point, it doesn’t seem to do a bad job, and it feels quite accurate—but I’m not sure.

    So, are you saying I should change the white mode from ‘native’ to 6500K and select ‘Wide LED’? Okay, thank you very much.

    And if I still don’t like the result, should I buy another calibrator? Honestly, the price is double, and I’m not sure if it’s worth it just to adjust the white point.

    I will give this weekend another shot with the settings you told me thank very much! 🙂

    *IF* that Xiaomi miniled is widegamut.

    If that xiaomi is widgemaut you’ll see al colors wrong, oversaturated, unless sRGB mode, so you profile for color managed apps like some browsers and image editing apps and then use one of the available tools to simulate sRGB in software (amd driver, novideo srgb for nvidias or DWMLUT) for games. Google their respective apps.

    That one, the one selected in blue, seems that they changed the label.
    The other ones “White led”/”led blanco” is for old sRGB only LED monitors and “GB LED” is for the oldest led widegamut monitors like Dell U2713H from 10 years ago.
