Help to calibrate DELL U2515H

[Gianluca.M.]

Hello!

My name is Gianluca.

Im a very novice in color management.  So I need some help to calibrate  my  dell U2515H with a  ColorMunki Display with displaycal software.

Can you suggest to me a good settings  in displaycal for calibrate my monitor, and a good kind of profile  for work  with lightroom cc and photoshop cc 2015 ?(matrix, curves+ matrix, lut, etc….)

I was forgetting, I have a PC with windows 10 x64

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

under “Settings”, select the “Office & Web” preset. Under “Correction”, select “Spectral: LCD White LED IPS”.

Thank you  Florian for the help!

Now the entire calibration process result ok in “verification”. But i have a problem with lightroom, photoshop and irfanview.

I opened with these programs a picture that contains a  ColorGammaGradient test. I see that the gradients are not smooth.

I used a XYZ LUT + matrix  profile, could be this type of profile is not compatible with these applications?  maybe  have I to change the type of profile? could you give me any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thank you for your consideration, I really appreciate your work!

I opened with these programs a picture that contains a ColorGammaGradient test. I see that the gradients are not smooth.

Usually a sign that these programs do processing in limited bit depth and without dithering. In practice, this may not be a big problem – “gamma” test pictures are often created artificially and don’t contain any noise, which elevates quantization artifacts (and adding a tiny amount of noise to them often eliminates the problem). Photos on the other hand are never noise-free and thus less likely to show quantization artifacts even during limited bit depth processing.

Thanks you Florian  for the explanation. So, now everything is ok with my monitor.

Thank you again for the help!

Hi all,

I also have the same screen wil colormunki and I can’t find the option LCD White LED IPS anymore.

Please can you advise what I should check from the options of latest version?

Thank you in advance.

Hi!
Go to Menu, tools-> Correction-> import colorimeter correction from other display profile software.
Check the first option “i1Profiles(i1 Displaypro, colormunki display, spyder4, spyder5)”
then click on “Auto” button.
now you should have this option again.

Thanks.

It did not change the options however. I believe that what I am searhcing for has been renamed to LCD White LED family. Please can you confirm?

[Gianluca.M.]

yes, I confirm.  I also have the same option “LCD White LED family (ac, lg samsung)”.  it  should be the right option to choose for our screen, or at least I’m using it and it works.
I had not noticed that the name was changed.
