Find out what is the best color gamut to calibrate your display to!

Find out the best color gamut to calibrate your display to! It is as simple as a singular gamut recommendation? Not quite, there are many consideration when choosing a color gamut and many time you are not given a choice to choose the color gamut for calibrate based on the display type that you have.

Very informative. Thanks again for your videos Art! So, what about people who use Davinci and Photoshop/Capture1 (50-50) and have a monitor with hardware calibration? What do you think is best for them?

Thanks Art, this video is one I was searching for 👍

Hi Art, thanks for this vid. I'm considering the sw270c. I understand it has a 60w output with the USB-C port. Does this provide enough wattage to charge a MBP 16inch? cheers

[SherazKhwaja]

Great video. Can you tell me how you activate M-book mode on the SW271? It does not appear within the monitor menu. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the video! Quick question hope you can answer: I have a LG 27GP850 wide gamut monitor. I prefer sRGB color space over wide gamut. I calibrated it using i1Display Pro with DisplayCal using "sRGB" setting. The result seems ok with 99.7% sRGB coverage, but the Red-Green-Blue colors are over saturated after the calibration. I searched around and AMD has a way to limit the color space to sRGB using Raedon's sRGB emulation. I enabled it in Readon driver, and then I calibrated the monitor again using i1Display Pro. This time I used 2 settings in DisplayCal. First setting I used was "sRGB", and the sRGB coverage dropped to 97.3% with AMD sRGB emulation enabled. Second time 2 used "Gamma 2.2" setting in DisplayCal, and the sRGB coverage in the end was 99.3% with AMD sRGB emulation enabled. The colors with "Gamma 2.2" setting looks more vibrant than the color with "sRGB" setting, but not that over saturated with AMD sRGB emulation disabled. Am I doing the right thing? Is it ok to calibrate the monitor again after enable the AMD sRBG emulation? And is it ok to use "Gamma 2.2" over "sRGB" in DisplayCal? Thanks in advance!

Hi Art. I use my Sw 270c for photoediting and for daily use. I calibrated with i1 display pro as you said in other videos. When i am not editing i calibrated to srgb, so i can swap between profiles on the puck and of course change in display panel too. Is it ok to use this way? Thx

[diegochak]

Thanks for this video!! I needed it. I have a benq PD2700u and I use it for davinci resolve.
1. Once inside the REC709 mode, do I do all the calibration in that mode? or if I have to adjust the RGB values ​​do I have to go to user mode?
2. In i1profiler, do I have to put range 2.4? since davinci uses that value?
Thank you very much!!!

Hi Art, Thanks for you video! I have a SW271 and I am trying to calibrate slot 1 to PanelNative for edit and calibrate slot 2&3 to ARGB/SRGB/DCI-P3 for Reference, but it seems I must match the calibrate slot with the related ICC to get a correct output. It seems I can't just click the controller key for quick proving. Any idea or suggestion on it?

Hi Art! Thanks for the great content. I'm looking at the LG27UQ850-W, which covers 98% of DCI-P3. I mainly grade in Rec 709 in Resolve, am I safe to assume I can calibrate it to cover 100% of Rec 709? Thanks, I appreciate your help!

I use Capture One for photo, and Davinci for Video. Is there a way to use more than one profile on a windows pc? or should I be looking for a hardware calibrated monitor, so I can calibrate each profile

[pixellvlog]

Hello
I hope you don't get tired and keep going because I found your videos informative!
Can you create a video about choosing the best monitor (especially 32 inches) for color grading and go for the cheap to expensive?
I'm having a hard time finding a good/cheap 32 inch 4K monitor and this pd3220u is so expensive! I'd appreciate it.

[tonycruz]

very informative! I have a question tho. How does the user setting compare to display P3? I do photography and video which profile would you recommend under those situations?
Thanks

[westernrev]

Hey!

Why are the blacks lifted in sRGB mode, in comparison to DCI-P3?

Thank you.

[maxmuller]

Thank you so much for this video!! But why should I calibrate my monitor in rec709 when grading in DR16? So if I change my color mode to rec709 I dont have the benefits of the wide gammut p3 color space, right? Why would I do this?

[refugioflores]

hey thank you, your videos been helpful all this time while i was getting my new monitor and running calibrations and profiles. i calibrated my monitors for SRGB because web browser was all over saturated and now it very good very accurate. the only problem i had was something that you mention editing on photoshop is nice i can see the colors and when i put it on the web as SRGB they look the same as on photoshop. the problem come when i preview photos inside windows they look bad over saturated im going to watch that video and see if i can get a program that would help with that

I have an Asus ProArt PA278QV monitor, I mainly do video editing on Davinci Resolve and delivery is just for web. I would like to ask, what profile should I set my Asus ProArt? Rec709? What Gamma? Or sRGB since it’s for web?

I’m using Mac Mini M1 and on display settings, I can change profiles? What should I use? It has a PA278QV profile, sRGB, different Rec709 + gamma settings, some rec709 BT something profile, etc.

I’m confused about this. Hope you can help.

[robfxdls]

Great video, Art! I use my external display for Resolve and can set it to rec.709. I just can’t work out how to calibrate with rec.709 in iProfiler? I can’t find that setting/option.

I have an ASUS PA32UC connected to my MacBook Pro 16" 2019 using a Thunderbolt 3 cable. But when I play HDR content on YouTube, it doesn't actually display in HDR. But when I play the same content on my MacBook Pro screen, it shows in HDR. Any ideas?

[henokh.c]

I`m very new in this color things. This video color looks muted and blueish in my laptop screen (TN), but on my phone screen (IPS) the color looks a little bit saturated. I don`t know which color is truly the right one, the laptop or the phone. Is there a way to check?

And how to keep the color consistent on any devices when viewing my photo after I color grade them in Photoshop?
Thanks.
