Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution

This solution lets you get the best, most accurate, color possible for your Dell UltraSharp UP2718Q when used with an X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter.

The Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution provides three major functions:

1. Based on measurements with the i1Display Pro Colorimeter, and using special monitor-based adjustments, it sets the display primaries to accurately emulate any of the ﬁve

standard display color spaces:

a. sRGB

b. Adobe RGB

c. REC709

e. DCI-P3

f. Monitor native

2. Based on measurements of standard test patches, it calibrates the display to standard gamma values, white points, and gray balance for the color space emulation that you select.

3. Based on measurements of a “characterization” set of test colors, it calculates and writes an ICC proﬁle for the display and activates the proﬁle in the Windows Operating System.

Major beneﬁts of using the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution along with the i1Display Pro Colorimeter on a regular basis include:

Colors in photos, design work, movies, and web pages appear as the content creator intended

Stable, predictable color – the colors look the same now and later

Consistent and accurate colors assured across the Dell UltraSharp monitors

Accurate proﬁles for use with “color managed” applications and printer drivers so that the color that prints is the color that you see and for accurate “soft prooﬁng”

Installing the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution

1. Connect the USB cable to your host computer. (Refer to the Quick Start Guide or User Guide that comes with your UP2718Q display). Your UltraSharp UP2718Q will function

as a high-quality display without the USB connection, but connecting it will give the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution the control that it needs to accurately set

up the colorspace emulations and calibrate the display.

2. Insert the “Driver and Documentation” CD that comes with your UP2718Q display into the CD or DVD drive of your computer.

3. Depending on whether Autorun is enabled or disabled on your computer follows the steps given below:

If Autorun is enabled on your computer, select your preferred language then select “Install Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution”from the menu.

Once the installer is launched

follow the step-by-step on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
