We then carried out a software calibration in the 'standard' preset mode. In this mode you have more limited control over the OSD settings, with the RGB channels not being available. We adjusted the brightness control as suggested in the process, but then let the calibration device carry out the rest of the corrections and adjustments at the graphics card LUT level.
Gamma, white point and luminance targets had all been met nicely as you can see. Contrast ratio was still very good at 856:1 which was pleasing. Best of all colour accuracy had also been corrected very well, with an average dE of only 0.4. LaCie would consider colour fidelity to be excellent. Testing the screen with various colour gradients showed smooth transitions on the most part, with some slight banding introduced in the darker tones due to the adjustments made at the graphics card level. This preset mode did seem to allow for a better calibration for some reason, and so should probably be used if you have access to a calibration device.
You can use our settings and try our calibrated ICC profile if you wish, which are available in our ICC profile database. Keep in mind that results will vary from one screen to another and from one computer / graphics card to another.
