Hello!
First of all I want to say that this is really a nice piece of software. Because I wanted to see results quickly I started profiling and calibration with the least precision and still got a really impressive result.
My problem right now is that I would like to adjust my display (LG OLED B7D) not just the software profile on my computer. Precisely I mean for example the very first step of the profiling where you are prompted to adjust the screen settings so the bars line up with the arrows. In short: something like HCFR.
I actually tried HCFR because I used it a few years ago, but it doesn’t show my Spyder5 sensor anymore. I tried many different versions of Argyll. Most of the times it installs just fine but it doesn’t show up in that dropdown menu. So I am using DisplayCAL now.
Is there a way to do a “manual” calibration?
Slight update:
The distribition of HCFR versions is surprisingly weird. Most links and searches point to the “official” HCFR website with a link for 3.0.4. By surprise I found 3.4.2 and there my Spyder5 works. I don’t really know what the latest version is since the update server can’t be reached, but I guess my problem is solved.
The only thing left would be for DisplayCal to have a manual option.
You also don’t want to use that Spyder5 on the OLED.
Spy5 can not read very Deep black panels, what will typically happen is the calibration will show a dead spot of (no panel response), even though the panel is responding, the spy5 just can’t see it.
You need either the colormunki display, or the i1disp . Don’t get SpyX, both colormunki and i1d still bests it for LOW light reads.

I am more troubled because of the annoying ABL of OLED panels that makes a constant calibration quality impossible.
