Hello,
I got a (refurbished) replacement monitor from Dell after contacting them regarding low contrast ratio issue that yumichan figured out from my earlier post: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19652479
After connecting the replacement unit, I ran a few calibration (Native and adobeRGB) with i1Display Pro + DCCS and verification dispcalGUI.
I did the same thing as before:
1. Factory reset monitor
2. Disassociated all ICC profiles in Windows (I run Windows 7)
3. Calibrated with DCCS 1.5.3 (newer version couldn't "find" my display)
a. For "native" calibration, I manually entered RGB x,y taken from EDID generated with dispcalGUI; WP 0.313, 0.329; 120 cd/m; Bradford, Version 2, Table based; Large patch set
b. For adobeRGB, I simply selected the preset from drop down menu; and the rest was same as "native" calibration
4. Verified results with dispcalGUI 3.0.4.3 (latest version)
a. RG_Phosphor for correction; verify_extended.ti1 testchart
d. I made sure the ICC profile was set as default in Windows; "Current" was chosen under Settings in dispcalGUI
The results:
The contrast seem okay, a lot better than previous unit and passed all recommended tolerance. Then I ran a "Profile Only" in dispcalGUI for the "Native" calibration using these settings:
This is what I got:
When I did the same thing with the previous U2413 unit (the one with low contrast than usual), I would get 100% and 99% gamut coverage for sRGB and adobeRGB respectively.
I repeating the steps a few times and still receive similar results. According to a post by yumichan I read before, these Dells shouldn't have gamut coverage issue. What am I missing here?
Please help. Thank you.
