    Hello Florian

    OK, so when I calibrate\profile my HDTV I always seem to get a gamut result of about 95%, but I know that I can get more, but for the longest time I couldn’t figure out why it was coming out below 100% (Usually lacking in the blue\cyan, and slightly in the green… Then the other day it hit me! … I am always calibrating the TV manually to 6500K which greatly reduces the blue channel and some of the green! (Can’t believe it took me this long to figure this out) …. So I started to think, what about letting DisplayCAL create the 6500K condition and leave the TV alone, or maybe adjusting the TV half way and let DisplayCAL do the rest?

    Would this return my color gamut at the expense of some quality loss due to the Kelvin adjustment being done at the software level?

    Do you think this would be a reasonable trad-off, or do you think I would lose more than I would gain?

    Thanks.
