Hi,
I am new to DisplayCal and I am trying to install the Spyder3 driver but the “Install Argyll CMS instrument drivers” item in the Tools menu is disabled. Thank you for your help!
Hi,
you need to have Argyll CMS. In the “File” menu, select “Locate Argyll CMS executables…”.
Thank you very much! Now I have Display=Dell U2410, Instrument=Spyder3, Mode=LCD (generic), Correction=Matrix: Datacolor Spyder3 & Dell DELL U2410 (X-Rite ColorMunki) and White, black level drift compensation both unchecked. Is that OK? Thanks again.
Well, the measurement report (attached) shows that there is something wrong I think. Maybe it is the monitor, the colorimeter, or both? Or it is just the report too “picky”? Thanks!
Your monitor doesn’t seem to be a good fit for a matrix profile (if I recall correctly, this is well known problem of this particular monitor in its native gamut mode). Try a LUT profile instead.
Yes. You can use the existing calibration (set tone curve to “As measured” on the calibration tab and disable interactive display adjustment, then use the existing calibration when asked later). To create a LUT profile, increase the patches slider on the “Profiling” tab to at least 425. This should automatically switch the profile type to LUT (you can see it reflected in the profile name).
I tried with 1100 patches and from the attached results things do look much better now I think. There is still some problem with white balance and also it seems strange to me that luminance is 129 when just yesterday I set it at 120 using the brighteness control.

Have you adjusted white balance manually during interactive display adjustment?

This is a monitor with CCFL backlight, which means a warmup time of 30+ minutes is really recommended. Also, CCFL backlights do have a tendency to drift even after reaching their operating temperature. The drift seems small though (comparing the measurement reports, +- 3 cd/m2).
Yes, I adjusted RGB gain controls to 100/93/100 to center the three bars.
As you say probably something went wrong with monitor “warm-up” time, so I will repeat the whole process I think. Do you think the following values would be appropriate? CALIBRATION: Interactive=Checked, Whitepoint=As measured, White level=As measured, Tone curve=Gamma 2.2, Calibration speed=High. PROFILING: Profile quality=High, Testchart=Auto, Patches=596.
Thanks!
