I’m losing hope – ProArt Display PA32UCG-K

[Riccardo Minervino]

Hi. I’m about to lose my mind.
I have spent two days trying to do an HDR color calibration on my ProArt Display PA32UCG-K without success.
Admittedly, I have no idea what I’m doing. I have scouted the web for some tutorial but I was not able to find anything useful.
I have read that in order to calibrate an HDR monitor I have to create a 3D lut, but I cannot find a proper guide anywhere.
Please, I need assistance on this. Can anyone guide me on this process?

We cannot Help you with the very basic concepst if you do not know them… pay a webinar on color management or something like that.

But if we assume that you know the basics :
-get a colorimeter, i1d3 as recommended minimum. Get a suitable colorimeter correction for taht display (QLED backlight, my guess)
-change monitor to HDR mode, although unfortunately is unlikely that you can disable Rec2020 mapping to native gamut… but that’s all you have at your disposal, free .
-profile display = get an ICC description of display behavior, with optional white point tunning and all that stuff (I assume that HDR mode in OSD blocks all controls, so you can do nothing about white point and thinks like that), XYZLUT profile (3d mesh of colospace volume at X nodes per side, where x^3 aprox = number of profiling color patches)

Now you have a description of display behavior in HDR mode stored in an ICC file. It is not actually clean beacuse Rec2020 mapping to native gamut is runing under teh hood, but that all you can get.

With that ICC compute a LUT3D where source colospace is Rec2020 PQ and your target destination is your custom display profile. Save that LUT3D and load it in whatever software supports it.

Maybe Asus has published an SDK for writing calibaryion into monitor, but it’s 99% not free, only available to LightIllusion of PortraitDisplays… but you’ll have to pay for a license.
