Calibration with Dell Ultra sharp UP2516 D

[MaryR]

Damien I have been calibrating my monitor with all your instruction however my monitor has several preset modes. Standard, movie, game, color temp, color space, custom color, so I never know exactly which one I should use? Thanks so much! I use the x-rite i1 display pro as required by my monitor.  The images are fairly close but the yellow seems a bit green?

Thanks!!

Then I don't understand the problem?  I talk about those presets at GREAT length in the instructions: http://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_i1DP_pc1.html

You should have their values all written down on a notepad, exactly as I instructed: https://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/15i1dppc09.jpg

None of them give the values except color temp which states 6500. The others are preset modes which you can use I suppose but don't have values on them.  I just was not sure which preset mode I should use. I know def not the multimedia move or game as those are way off. But not sure about the other handful presets.

Mary, PLEASE read the instructions.  Part 4 discussed how you take the readings from all the presets, and write them down on your notepad.

Oh I did miss that part to check each preset that way. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
