High deltaE on red values

[wilu2020]

I’ve been using a Macbook Pro 2015 Retina as my main monitor for photo editing and it looks quite accurate after calibration (attached measurement results below).

I’ve been wanting a larger screen so I recently purchased a new ASUS ProArt PA248QV monitor, which is supposedly a good monitor for color representation, but the results are actually much worse, with a deltaE of over 5 on red even after DisplayCAL calibration.

I do notice a difference visually as well on images with prominent red shades.

I’ve tried calibrating the new monitor with and without auto-correction, and with a correction setting for the same monitor uploaded by another user. For all the verification settings I made sure to select the right correction setting as well. I uploaded my best result below.

Am I missing something in the calibration/verification process or is it time to return the monitor for something better? I’m open to suggestions. Thanks

I’m not sure how I can edit my post but I solved this after unchecking  “Use Simulation Profile as Target Profile” thanks to this post

Mac reports is wrong, you measured a display with a i1d3 colorimeter without using a correction for its backlight.
If Macbook is P3 use WLED PFS for mac bundled in Displaycal. If it is an older sRGB-like retina, use White LED or something else in displaycal colorimeter correction database.

Regarding your Asus report, as you discovered, you were measuring how display behaved without DisplayCAL calibration against sRGB. Doing what you did later you validate how it behaves in a color managed enviroment showing an sRGB image.

How do I make sure to pick the right correction settings? It’s an early 2015 retina screen so it’s sRGB. Also trying to find one for my other monitor Philips 246E9Q which also may be white LED
