White point mismatch

[Ogisrl]

Hello,

I am trying to calibrate my Dell U2515h monitor. When calibrated on windows it is very close to my macbook pro white balance. But when I try to calibrate it with same settings on mac or as second display on macbook with same settings and calorimetric correction the white point is not the same, and adjusting it to the refference 6500 shows more green tint. The monitor is showing same colors on both systems with same monitor rgb numbers.

Hi,

please read the FAQ entry on visual whitepoint mismatch.

Can’t find it. I just want to ask if it is ok?

[Florian Höch]

The FAQ is a sticky thread in this very forum. And normally you want a visual match between displays, especially if they’re sitting right next to each other.

Yes I found it allready. Will have a look in deep tomorrow. Thank you. I just don’t get it why in windows that was R95 G98 B99, but on mac R97 G100 B98 (those numbers were achieved in interactive adjustment) with same settings and colorimetric corrections. Same computer and same monitor.

And which obe should be a refference?

[Florian Höch]

You pick one.
