Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution
This solution lets you get the best, most accurate, color possible with your Dell UltraSharp U3014 display when used with an X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter.
The Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution provides three major functions:
1. Based on measurements with the i1Display Pro Colorimeter, and using special monitor-based adjustments, it sets the display primaries to accurately emulate any of the five
standarddisplay color spaces:
a. sRGB
b. AdobeRGB
c. Rec. 709
d. DCI-P3
e. UltraSharp native
2.Based on measurements of standard test patches, it calibrates the display to standard gamma values, white points, and gray balance for the color space emulation that you select.
3.Based on measurements of a “characterization” set of test colors, it calculates and writes an ICC profile for the display and activates the profile in the Windows Operating System.
Major benefits of using the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution along with the i1Display Pro Colorimeter on a regular basis include:
Colors in photos, design work, movies, and web pages appear as the content creator intended
Stable, predictable color – the colors look the same now and later
Consistent and accurate colors assured across the Dell UltraSharp monitors
Accurate profiles for use with “color managed” applications and printer drivers so that the color that prints is the color that you saw and for accurate “soft proofing”
Installing the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution
1. Connect the USB cable to your host computer. (Refer to the Quick Start Guide or User Guide that comes with your U3014 display). Your UltraSharp U3014 will functionas a high-quality
display without the USB connection, but connecting it will give the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution the control that it needs to accurately set up the colorspace emulations
and calibrate the display.
2. Insert the “Driver and Documentation” CD that comes with your U3014 display into the CD or DVD drive of your computer.
3. Depending on whether Autorun is enabled or disabled on your computer follow the steps given below:
If Autorun is enabled on your computer, select your preferred language then select “Install Dell™ Ultrasharp Color Calibration Solution”from the menu.
