#USING SPYDER5 WITH DISPLAYCAL UPDATE#
All current Dell Wide Gamut monitor owners are highly encouraged to update and recalibrate their screens to get better accuracy. Updated on : X-Rite / Dell released a new version of DUCCS software 1.6.5 – please see the notes below. The BenQ PG2401PT and its Palette Master software, on the other hand, come with proper GB-LED support. Hence, their software won’t get the same accurate readings as with the proper correction, which in turn leads to less accurate calibration than it should. The main issue with those models is that they bundle an outdated X-Rite SDK (Software Development Kit) in their software without GB-LED support, which is the current main* (see the footnote at the end of the article below) LED wide gamut backlight technology. It is important to point out that LG and Samsung wide gamut models cannot be properly calibrated internally with the i1Display Pro colorimeter using their software and the same applies to some BenQ models like SW2700PT and its Palette Master Elements software. Affordable wide gamut solutions with hardware calibration started in 2013 with Dell and after that other companies like LG, BenQ and Samsung begun to offer “similar” products with more or less success. Those models offer wide gamut, great uniformity and advanced calibration features…but at a fairly high price. In the past, hardware calibration feature was limited to premium wide-gamut models from companies like NEC or Eizo.
