Color calibration — Factory
Three standard color spaces, sRGB, AdobeRGB, and BT.709, are calibrated at the factory and a one-page
calibration report is printed and included in each monitor carton.
Native color space is congured at the factory to provide the maximum panel luminance.
The default setting for the User color space is the same as Native.
Factory calibration settings are saved in monitor memory and can be re-applied at any time through the On-
Screen Display.
Color calibration — User
With the exception of the native panel color space, each color space can be calibrated by the end user with the
user calibration software that comes with the product and with a colorimeter device (the colorimeter is
included in the DreamColor Calibration Solution option kit, sold separately). The user calibration software is a
Windows-based application that requires use of the Windows 7 or later operating system. The calibration
process uses the following steps:
1. Insert the optical disc provided in the DreamColor Calibration Solutions kit into the host computer's
optical drive.
2. Install the user calibration program on the host computer.
3. Place the colorimeter from the DreamColor Calibration Solutions kit in front of the monitor panel as
directed.
4. Run the calibration software and follow the on-screen steps. One color space can be calibrated and
named at a time. Two methods of calibration are possible:
●
Wizard mode – the application will ask questions about the user’s environment and usage then will
suggest settings to be used.
●
Expert mode – the user will be asked to input all the variables intended for use in the calibration
process.
When calibration is complete, the values are saved in monitor memory. The most recent calibration settings
can be re-applied at any time through the On-Screen Display.
Auto EDID update
By default, the display automatically updates the display EDID when you switch color spaces.
If Auto EDID Update is enabled, the EDID will be updated for all inputs every time you change the active color
space preset. If Auto EDID Update is disabled, each input will be set to the factory default values for the Native
color space.
You can enable or disable Auto EDID Update in the OSD:
1. Press any of the ve front bezel buttons on the right side of the front bezel to activate the buttons.
2. Press the bottom Open Menu button to open the OSD.
3. In the OSD, select Management > Auto EDID Update and then select either Enable or Disable.
