Question about display temperature on laptop

[Lionel Motte]

Hello,

I just calibrated a Dell laptop in this order:

Running an uncalibrated report,and start calibration with laptop preset

I saw on uncalibrated report that the screen is 8500k which is too cold, if I adjust the telperature with ie the windows integrated tool to make it warmer, will it alterate the calibration or it’s ok ?

Thanks

You cannot alter whitepoint using other software. If you want a specific whitepoint target, set it on the calibration tab.

Hello,

thanks for your answer.

so it’s better to set office and web preset, and untick interactive display adjustement?

That’s the most straightforward way, yes.

Hello,

It’s perfect now. Screen is at 6500k.

Last question , for all-round use, office, gaming and video, do you suggest keeping office and web preset or video preset ?

I already did a 3d lut with reshade from office and web preset.

Thanks

The video preset uses the whitepoint D65-equivalent chromaticity coordinates instead of the more commonly known 6500K target, in practice there is no real difference between the two.
