    I calibrated my tn panel with spyder5 and displaycal software. After(also before) calibration whites looks really bad. http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php this test fails badly. Monitor looks bright and contrasty. White webpages looks bad. Looks like gpu driver brightness settings and driver or monitor contrast settings helps. Should i adjust these ? before or after calibration ? Also http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/contrast.php red and purple last columns hardly distinguishable.

    Also can i use icc profile after reinstallation of windows ? Without displaycal software ? Or should i need displaycal software for installing icc profile and displaycal profile loader ?

    Hi,

    adjust the display (only) before calibration and profiling. Adjusting the display again requires recalibration/reprofiling.

    Also can i use icc profile after reinstallation of windows ?

    Yes.

    What do you think about brightness. Im not talking about backlight. I feel like my monitor whites overbright. Calibration itself should fix it ? or should i manually fix it before calibration process from gpu driver ? Its my new TN panel. Didnt had the same problem with my old va monitor. Is this tn monitor weakness or should i tweak it i dont know. My monitor calibrated right now 6500k 2.2 gamma 120cd and average delta 1>. Still whites bad.

    Are you talking about clipping? Make sure you drive the monitor with the right output levels, e.g. if using nVidia graphics, check display -> resolution -> output dynamic range (not sure why they call it dynamic range, it has nothing to do with that) in nVidia control panel.

    Radeon gpu full rgb format and 8 bit. Not limited or ycbcr. My problem is gray squares invisible in this test: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php. Whites are powerful and masks other colors. White webpages looks annoying. My va monitor was 2.2 gamma same as this one but it wasnt like this.

    That may be the wrong setting. Set it to limited and see if the problem goes away.
