Note the warning in the article about not working well on hardware calibration on the second monitor. Thanks!The article you linked looked right, but bear in mind that I don't have that monitor, and my knowledge of it is limited to what I've read in the tftcentral review. If anyone has any other suggestions, I am all ears. If I can get a little encouragement that this is probably the correct path for me, I am ready to try it.

#HOW TO OPEN UP A DELL E207WFP MONITOR HOW TO#
I found an article about how to do this - here.ĭo these steps sound correct? It doesn't seem to me necessary to uninstall the iProfiler software (and especially since I'll need it for future profiles on the secondary monitor, I'd rather not remove it).Ī) Install the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution software (which I didn't have previously, but I just downloaded).ī) Use it to perform a calibration on the -H, along with my i1Display Pro (boy did I get lucky that I ordered the proper model) and then don't dare touch the OSD settings.Ĭ) Make sure the newly created. If this is the case, I am willing to try it. I understand it won't be perfect, but in the past, it was close enough for me and everyone else. I am not a high-end graphics designer or stock photographer or anything, I am just a semi-pro photographer, where the most important thing for me is being able to accurately see what I'm sending clients while I am creating it in Lightroom. That seems to be the only way I'm going to see a reliable level of consistency between what I create in Lightroom, what the exported sRGB looks like to the average computer user, and what the prints will look like from my lab. Work there in Lightroom, export to sRGB, etc. sRGB, I am thinking I should just do a hardware calibration in sRGB for CAL1 and leave it like that. I am satisfied with the software calibration I have there at the moment.Īfter reading all this stuff about hardware calibration in native mode vs. You did check that iProfiler is creating v2 profiles (and not v4)?Īnd I will need to just use software calibration on the E207WFP. If it doesn't, then there's something wrong with the profile. The same thing should happen when you use a custom profile. Using the sRGB profile won't be right (I mean, it's unlikely to reflect accurately the properties of the monitor) but it should make all three test images look the same, as you found. That suggests that there's something wrong with the profiles iProfiler creates for the E207WFP. However, on this monitor, all my sRGB jpegs look as I would expect them to. icm, all 3 versions look nearly identical (only slight variation around the edges, almost imperceptible). If I switch the profile to the default sRGB. icm loaded for it that I created with the x-Rite i1 Display and iProfiler software. On the secondary (E207WFP) display, which shouldn't be wide-gamut, all 3 pictures look different when I have a custom. My results, of course, confuse me even further.
I downloaded your test images and viewed them in Windows Photo Viewer on each screen. It's unable to distinguish between similar light tones, so it can't properly display the subtle tonal nuances in clothing or flowers, for example." it's absolutely awful at colour reproduction and reproducing tones at the extreme ends of the scale. Its most glaring problem is its questionable image quality. The cnet review ( ) didn't like it much: "Unfortunately the E207WFP has more weaknesses than strengths. That means it won't calibrate well, and colour and brightness will vary as you move your viewing position in front of the screen. The E207WFP is quite old, and with a TN display. My main display now is the -H and my secondary display is an older Dell E207WFP. Just to clarify, I no longer have the -HM. Still pretty confused, but maybe have an idea of what to try. Wow, a lot to digest here! I read it a few times, and have spent quite a bit of time reading your recommended sites and some others as well.
