Hi All
So I used to be more pro on the calibration when I had my first dell with i1disply 2 and my old monitor which was PVA Dell
Now I bought the ColorMonkey and Dell IPS UP3216Q and Nvidia Quadro P600
the colormonky software is really bad cant do much with it, also I miss my lower darks and higer contrast of my old monitorthats how I found a about DisplayCal and got confused
I would really like to get some guidness on the best way to achive calibration to my monitor.- I want to change the white temp but when I do my mouse still keep the native white temp
- videos look too dark and I need to fix it through NVIDIA what makes the video look different in the edit software and in the player
- getting deeper black with higher contrast
- specific settings to max the Dell UP3216Q accuracy
- Any other tip and tricks to get the best results
Thank you all you are doing an amazing work with this open source project

2-Use color managed video player & editor, UP3216Q is a widegamut monitor.
As alternatives:
-use sRGB/Rec709 preset + DisplayCAL gamma & white correction
-or buy an i1DisplayPro and use DUCCS software to calibrate internally CAL1/CAL2 to Rec709 and your desired gamma
-or learn C++ an try to build a plugin for DisplayCAL/ArgyllCMS that converts ArgyllCMS’ profile + 1D calibration to a Lut-matrix-Lut structure and upload that calibration to monitor with Dell SDK.Color managed editor or sRGB/Rec709 + DisplayCAL calibration are the easiest ones with no cost for you.
3- 1000:1 native, maybe 1300:1 if it is one of the new with some WLED widegamut PFS variant… it is what it is. With 100cd/m2 @ D65 white, black output should be lower than in a 140cd/m2 white setup. Play with it.
4- UP3216Q looks like W-LED widegamut PFS variant:

so use that correction I linked.5- Although DUCCS calibration software from Dell has a lot of flaws it maybe worth of buying an i1DisplayPro if you need to work in enviremments without color management. Most of DUCCS flaws can be corrected with DisplayCAL and a Quadro should not cause banding by GPU calibration.
Do all this stuff with your Colormunki Display… then re-evaluate if you need HW calibration with an i1DisplayPro.I assumed that you meant “ColorMonkey”=”Colormunki Display”… if you own a Colormunki Smile (lesser colorimeter) or Colormunki spectro of something like that it may be woth considering to buy an i1DisplayPro right now.

Regarding #4
I think that if do a calibration through your GPU you can control the white point
it doesn’t make sense that choosing a white point other than the native white point wont effect the cursor white pointany ideas?
