Hello all.

I am using ArgyllCMS/DispCalGui along with my Spyder 3 express and have been
happy so far. I just got a new Dell 2711 screen, and I am getting some
strange results. When flatpanelshd reviewed that display they arrived at
quite different display rgb-settings, and I am wondering if:
1. Are wide-gamut displays a problem for my Spyder 3 express, if so, what
should I do?
2. Can there be such substantial variation within a series?

Hopefully my tables should be readable using fixed-width fonts. If not, a
readable version can be found here:

Note that I ended up with red-channel set to 100 instead of ~80. Test-images
also appear red-ish to me. I have not experienced this problem calibrating
my older PC screen or my TV-set.
