Generally using the inverse of the encoding curve looks bad, because
the viewing conditions are different. Typically the encoding assumes a
very bright studio viewing situation, while the actual display
viewing conditions are dim to dark. The discrepancy between
the viewing gamma encoding and a typical display gamma characteristic
traditionally makes this viewing conditions adjustment (see
"Digital Video and HDTV" by Charles Poynton for more explanation
of this.)
So, the question remains: What parameters should I use for the Dim and Dark
presets to match with the scaling of ArgyllCMS/dispcal?
Since you haven't explained exactly what you want to match, it dificult
to say. dispcal has a range of ways of dealing with the non perfect black
of the device, and this can have a noticable subjective effect.
