Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Hi Damien, Calibrating my external Dell screen (P2414Hb), and following your Spyderx Elite instructions, i'm just stuck on how do Adjust color Temperature Present. the only was i can see that i could set the color temp on this screen is through the preset modes using custom color? Have you come across this?
Damien Symonds Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Hi @Marliese, thanks for posting. Could you take a photo of the menu on your screen, so I can see what options it gives you?
Damien Symonds Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Thanks. Is this the page of instructions you're up to?
Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 No i believe this is before that, just after expert console
Damien Symonds Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Ok ... but does the page I linked answer your question, when you expand the "detailed instructions" section?
Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 I see now, thankyou, do i simply just click next in this section though. Thanks
Damien Symonds Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 I've got a feeling that maybe you didn't choose "Expert Console" on this page? https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/32039-xelite-12/
Damien Symonds Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 You did forget? Or you did choose it? Anyway, yes, press "Next".
Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 No i hadnt it was right, i did go ahead and press next, it only took me through turning up the brightness of the screen then bringing it down to the target area, then finished, flashed a different colours and shades but never asked me to adjust the RGB at all?
Damien Symonds Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Darn, how weird! Ok, when you go through it again, can you show me a screenshot of your settings at this step?
Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 Ran through the calibration again, still only stopped to adjust brightness
Damien Symonds Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Darn And you definitely turned on "Show RGB sliders" in preferences?
Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 That could very well be it, i shall start again after dinner, thanks for your help 1
Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 Still didn't stop on the RGB levels during calibration process, i wonder whether its because i'm not doing anything when it asks adjust colour temperature preset? Really don't want to waste your time, should i contact Datacolor?
Marliese Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 Could it be not doing anything at this step is letting me down?
Damien Symonds Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Sorry for all the "duh" questions, but did you definitely check all three boxes on this screen?
Damien Symonds Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 I just dug out my Spyder X Elite and ran a calibration on one of my Dell screens. It definitely stopped to let me adjust the colours.
Marliese Posted May 18, 2021 Author Posted May 18, 2021 not at all, i appreciate it! Funnily enough that doesn't show up at all, see left side bullet points
Marliese Posted May 18, 2021 Author Posted May 18, 2021 Just found it on the drop down menu give me a sec
Marliese Posted May 18, 2021 Author Posted May 18, 2021 There was a tab below that said shortcuts the bugger was hiding in there, i think we are good to go!!!!
Marliese Posted May 18, 2021 Author Posted May 18, 2021 It worked!!! Legend!! Many thanks, have a great day
