Be careful with that! LP2475w is a wide gamut display but Spyder 3 is not a
WCG filtered colorimeter and ArgyllCMS doesn't support correction matrices.

You have to feel that something is wrong after the calibration. It is the
white balance. (You can set it better with your eyes.)
And you should notice that the profile is also broken because the primary
color coordinates are false numbers.

You will need a spectrophotometer or the iColor software with a unique
correction matrix.


This should be a commonly known problem!
