Jbasya Posted April 28 Hi Damien! I'm having a heckuva time calibrating my new Dell U2722D. I have a spyder X elite and even ordered new prints from a different printer to troubleshoot. No vivid or oversaturated colors in these prints. With all of them, I can't seem to find the sweet spot where all the colors are close enough..... But before I settle on a compromise, can you please tell me if any of the following point to larger problems? --Documentation says this monitor is W-LED so I've been checking that box --every time I open the software it only has my old monitor in the dropdown box --it doesn't recognize the new monitor and only offers me "generic" despite the fact that I have the monitor-specific driver (another thing I thought might help) --when checking the calibration prints, things look much different in bridge than in the spyder software--this is my biggest concern!!! Despite the above issues, I'm creating profiles and can switch between them so on that front spyder is doing what it's supposed do. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Damien Symonds Posted April 28 Are you running it off a laptop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbasya Posted April 29 Yes. Dell xps (9560 I think). Premier color or whatever you always say to disable is disabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted April 29 And that's the same laptop you used to have your old screen attached to? What make/model was your old screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbasya Posted April 29 Yes same laptop. Old monitor was a Dell U2515H, I gave it to my husband. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted April 29 How bizarre. Have you tried this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/10/how-to-properly-re-install-spyder.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbasya Posted April 29 I was going to start tomorrow by deleting/reinstalling so thanks! Hopefully this will help. And hopefully I won’t have to uninstall/reinstall between every damn tweak…. 🙏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbasya Posted April 30 Hi again, I uninstalled and reinstalled the spyder software and it seems to be working as it should, except for the fact that in the "spydertune" view things look very different from how they look in bridge/photoshop. Photos opened in windows explorer look like the bridge/photoshop version. I checked my color spaces, looked for things amiss in the graphics drivers, everything is updated, do you have any idea why I'm seeing this discrepancy? Should I just pay attention to what I'm seeing in bridge/photoshop? in this screenshot the spyder version is a pretty close color match to my prints while the bridge version is insane.

Damien Symonds Posted May 1 How odd. How many files have you tried? Do they all show the same problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbasya Posted May 1 I have tried a bunch of files but they’re all from the same recent batch, when I get home I’ll open some older files just to check, though I doubt they’ll be any different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbasya Posted May 1 Problem is definitely not limited to this batch of photos. In just a few old sooc jpegs photos it's less noticeable, but I suspect that has more to do with the darkness and lack of saturation in those photos than with them being immune to whatever the hell is going on. Any ideas? I guess I should reach out to Spyder.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted May 1 If you calibrated to V2 the first time, maybe try V4? https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/32032-xelite-07/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbasya Posted May 1 Ok I’ll try that, thanks again. Hope you’re having a great weekend! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
