Dell U2715H 27-Inch Widescreen IPS LED Monitor

Product Information

The screen’s colour accuracy was outstanding, as our colour calibrator showed it was already displaying 100% of the sRGB colour gamut at its default settings. With such a perfect score, we had no need to calibrate it, and its colour coverage was incredibly deep across red, green and blue colour spaces. This is one of the few screens we’ve seen that doesn’t require colour calibration out of the box, and it even performs well in wider-ranging colour gamuts, managing 99.5% of Adobe RGB, too.

of any overshoot artefacts in this mode which was pleasing. When you switch to the 'fast' setting, the good, and you could tell it was a standard gamut screen. We went ahead and measured the default state with The Advanced mode uses the Automatic Display Calibration feature and do an in-depth setting of the hardware color controls in the display before displaying the colors needed to create a profile. Using the Advanced mode gives an excellent result, but will take a longer time. Graphics professionals and color critical users find many industry specific option choices available in this mode. here how uniform the brightness and colour temperature was across the screen, as well as identify any A: Yes. Most computers have video cards that can support two displays with separate International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles. Four profiled displays per computer is the maximum with this software.dE colour accuracy of <3 (the U2713HM had dE <5 target). A copy of the calibration report from our unit isprovided below for reference: subtract half of the average G2G response time from the total display lag. This should allow us to give a good estimation of A: Yes. Owners of X-Rite i1PRO2 and i1Pro spectrophotometers can also use this program for display calibration. Also consider is the viewing angle each display is using. LCD displays do not have the same color response off-angle, and it is likely that when using two screens you will sit in front of one, or between the two resulting in a different viewing angle for each display. A: XRD refers to X-Rite Device Services. This is software that automatically loads when you launch DUCCS, and then handles device communication with the software. This allows us to update device communication features separately to updating the entire software program.

When a device is first used, it is a normal reaction to use that configuration as a reference standard. (Like the first time you hear a song sung, you compare all versions to that version.) It is impossible to avoid some degree of comparison between two examples of an image on two separate displays, and due to the factors already mentioned. It can be challenging to make two dissimilar displays look "identical." The best option is to use displays that are as close to identical as possible to result in nearly identical visual appearance. A: Until you connect the X-Rite i1Display PRO to a USB port, the software showsa DEMO for all functions. Once you connect the X-Rite i1Display PRO device, the Display and Projector icons become active. You could also connect an X-Rite i1Pro or i1PRO2 spectrophotometer to enable display profiling. Note: These FAQs assume that the owner of a DELL UltraSharp monitor can use the menu options and physical controls of the display. A: By using a larger number of color values for measurement, the software has the ability to make a more accurate profile. However not all images may show a visual difference or improvement by choosing a larger number of patch values. We would recommend that you start with the Small patch set, to have a baseline for evaluation, should you choose to try the other larger patch sets. Yes, a larger patch set takes more time to measure.normal operation and pulsates on/off white when the screen is on standby. Unlike some of the other UltraSharp screens we've seen A: If you are using two displays, setting them to the same luminance level is critical if you wish to see similar color results. Display color temperature changes with the luminance level set, so establishing a common luminance setting is an important step in making displays look more similar. A: DUCCS can save the color calibration settings to one of two settings stored in the display. This allows you to have two different color settings that are easily selected by the display’s menu. Someone who worked in both print and video mediums could choose to use AdobeRGB and save to Calibration 1 setting for print work, and then choose Rec. 709, saving to Calibration 2 settings for video projects. A: Once you have saved an ICC profile, you do not want to change the file name. ICC (also called ICM) profiles have external names and internal names. When you change the external name, you change what you see in a file listing. However, the software programs that need to use that profile look to the internal names. So changing an external name causes the profile to not be found if you were to look for it, in an application program.

colorimeter with a central point on the screen calibrated to 120 cd/m 2. Measurements for colour temperature (white point) were taken using A: The Automatic Display Control (ADC) feature can take a number of minutes with the UltraSharp, due to the complete control of the hardware offered. The current version of the software does not have a cancel button available until the ADC feature completes. We would recommend that you allow the ADC process to complete to avoid having the display end up in an unstable color condition. A: When you select the UltraSharp to be the display to be calibrated, the software automatically recognizes the required settings, so you do not need to select them.

Superior image quality and an impressive range of inputs make this one of the best monitors of 2013

The screen was tested at default factory settings using the DVI interface, and analysed using A: This is caused by comparing two displays of different manufacturers, often with different display quality levels. graphics card LUT from the profilation of the screen which was pleasing.

Use of i1Profiler is possible, but not optimal. reference point IPS screen, the Dell U2415 (8.6ms G2G). That represented about as good as you can get from

A: One benefit of the Advanced mode is the ability to save information at any point in the workflow. Many people would choose to save their measurement file prior to moving to the final stage of creating the display profile. Being able to review a measurement file can be helpful if you encounter an error in creating a profile. You can then reload that saved measurement file and see if a change in profile creation settings allows you to complete the profile. This saves considerable time vs. having to redo the entire measurement process. Note: Your i1 spectrophotometer must already contain i1Profiler licenses for printer or scanner profiling to allow DUCCS software to create a printer or scanner profile. You need to be familiar with the basic menu settings of your display and special features that you might need to disable. Knowledge of the ability to adjust the display features of your display (brightness, color temperature, contrast etc.) and the limitations of connections that are used can have a dramatic effect on the appearance on your display. Configurations using Dell UltraSharp displays and other displays with different characteristics can be challenging, and if you are not fully aware of the configuration capabilities of all displays in use the results can be misleading and unsatisfactory. A: Many design creative users want to use the full color gamut possible on the UltraSharp, and do not require that the display correspond to any industry specification. Alternately, the UltraSharp offers the ability to be set for use with industry color space descriptions such as AdobeRGB and Rec. 709. Your specific choice varies depending on your needs.

A: Yes, when using DUCCS software with the UltraSharp, you will always want to determine if you wish to save to the Calibration 1 or Calibration 2 preset. A: Ambient light levels can be expressed in different units of measurement. Lx refers to Lux, and would be a unit of measurement that is used in video or scientific environments. Cd/m2 refers to Candela per square meter, and is a more commonly used unit of measurement in the photographic and printing industries.
