shadows look too bright Windows10/QX2710LED

[Jackson Clark]

I’m a video editor and color grader. Working on an old display QX2710LED, and calibrating with the SpyderX. I am on Windows 10, and comparing photos on the display, as well as on my Note 9 phone and old Macbook 2011. The display, to my eye, has shadows that look rather washed out, where as the shadows on the two other displays are nearly crushed. I can use the Windows 10 self calibration thing to get my gamma to a point where it “looks” right, but I really don’t want to rely on that if possible.

I’m using the Preset Video, with no advanced options open.

Tone Curve is Rec 1886

Do not use that unless you have a superb contrast display. Use 2.4. Google what is Rec1886 if you want to know what you see that.
