Hello Everyone, I've had great success with argyllcms but have a couple of nagging questions that someone may be able to answer. 1: I have a wide gamut Dell U2711. My understanding of the best calibration/characterization scenario is to bring the display as close to the desired setup with on-screen settings and then fine tune with the profile. I could get reasonably close to 120 luminance and neutral grey with the "Custom Color" that leaves the red at 100, green at 98 and blue at 100. A year in the display has aged a bit and now red at 99, green at 95 and blue at 100 give a neutral characterization while bumping up the brightness a bit. As you probably know, Custom Color is the only setting that allows access to the RGB controls. My question is this: Does setting the RGB levels to anything less than 100 limit the available color palette? I seem to recall reading that lowering the setting for green (as an example) reduces the size of the internal LUT for that channel. Is this based on bit depth? I can see how it may compress the available steps. Given this monitors settings, would it be just best to set it to "Standard", adjust brightness and then profile? 2: I work in a dark room and when I run "Report on Uncalibrated Display" get a gamma of 2.0. My choice of settings is color temp. 6500K, white level 120, black level: 0.13 and gamma 2.2. The results look excellent but if I run a "Report on Calibrated Display", the gamma is 2.8. Can someone explain this? Is this indicative of what people refer to as "crushed blacks"? Thank You - Phil
