White crushed/clipping, worse after calibration?

[ZeroWalker]

I got a Dell U2415 and i1 Display Pro.

I made a recalibration recently and noticed that I white seems to get clipped.

I am using Office & Web (D65, Gamma 2.2), the brightness I calibrated to 120 cd/m2.
Correction:  Spectral: LCD White LED family (AC, LG, Samsung)
The monitor has contrast set to 75, which is the default.

I am looking at these images (attached)

taken from http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php  and http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php

And in that state I can see up to 253, I can’t seem to see 254.

After calibration it makes things brighter, so I think 253 is is visible but just barely, 254 is probably gone if it was even there to begin with.

Is my eyes playing tricks on me?
Can the calibrated profile show if the whites/contrast are getting clipped?
