Screen to probe measurement

Measurements before calibration

We now move on to the panel test and in order to know the colorimetric quality of this screen out of the box, we made some measurements of the screen. This was tested on DisplayCal following 51 colour patches. As you can see, the calibration is quite good, we have 7000K for 6500K expected, but it remains in the specs. The delta E is contained to less than 2%. As for the brightness, it can go up to 500cd/m² with a contrast ratio around 1626:1. The gamut is :

  • 96.1% of sRGB
  • 69.5% of Adobe RGB
  • 73.3% of DCI P3

Measurements after calibration

The calibration of a display is important for content creation and comfort. For the calibration of my displays, I mostly use DisplayCal in 6500K, 150 cd/m2 and an extended test pattern. For the settings we have :

  • Brightness: as is (approx. 200 cd/m²)
  • Black level: as is (approx. 0.12 cd/m²)
  • White: as is
  • profile: sRGB
  • Test pattern: Large test pattern – 778 patches

So here is what this screen looks like after calibration: Calibration via the DisplayCal software results in an extremely accurate profile with a deltaE of less than 1. With these settings, the screen becomes almost perfect. Ideal for photo editing. As far as the reflectance of the screen is concerned, we have a glossy panel, a good choice for photography, as the sharpness is better. But not recommended for outdoor use, fortunately the 500 cd/m² are there to counter the reflections.
