This step is really important, so read the info and make your decision wisely.  I would say that the majority of screens out there in the world are “Standard LED”, but yours might be different.

If you need help in deciding what technology your screen has, please comment below and I'll try to help out.

Is there a label on the underside with more information?  A model number?

[Bean]

P56G???

[Damien Symonds]

I think it'll be Standard LED.

Thank you!! Enjoy your holiday!!

I bought a HP M24F - do you think standard or wide?

Standard.

Hi Damien 

recalibrating my screen and following your instructions to ensure I'm defo doing it right. I had it set to wide LED, based on checking before - but I am not knowledgeable enough not to be wrong! Here is the spec as sent from where I bought the laptop, does WLED mean Wide LED? Google suggests maybe not! 

further spec info here:

thanks!

[Damien Symonds]

No, that looks like standard LED to me.

[Damien Symonds]

@JanessaTaber what setting did you choose here?

[Chelsea Lake]

I have an ASUS ROG Zephyrus M15. Would that be standard led or wide led?

On this page, which model is yours?

[Chelsea Lake]

It is the last one, ROG Zephyrus M15 GU502LU-HN080T

 

[Damien Symonds]

Then it's definitely Standard LED.

I have a Benqu PD2720U.  I went on their website, it was confusing.

[Damien Symonds]

Looks like Wide LED to me.  Try that first.

I have a MacBook Pro and mistakenly chose wide but standard is likely what's correct?

[Damien Symonds]

Probably Standard, yes.

If Standard has given you such awful colours, maybe it should be Wide after all.

[kaitlyn brodell]

I've tried it both ways. The graph I sent you was for Wide which is what Datacolor recommended in their support solution. I'll try it again in Standard and send you a screenshot of that graph.

[kaitlyn brodell]

Now my screen is so dark that the Spyder won't even calibrate at all because I keep getting an error that the lens cap must not be off. It is, it's just so dark that it won't register. Aagh!

[Damien Symonds]

Then you'll need to go to the Displays page and switch to a different monitor profile, I guess.

[kaitlyn brodell]

Could you be more specific? Right now I have Apple XDR Display selected under presets and that seems to be the brightest option. Unless you're talking about something else.

[Damien Symonds]

Yes, that one will be fine.  It doesn't really matter.  You just need to choose it long enough for the calibrator to work again.
