Recommended Calibration Settings for Dell 2709W and Spyder3 Elite

2009-03-10 by rickbehl

Hi,

I just bought a new Dell 2709W monitor and am trying to calibrate it using a Spyder3 Elite unit (part of the Spyder3 studio package I have).... However I am finding that after calibration at 2.2/6500k the colours still look a little 'warm' rather than the neutral I was expecting. My room is lit by daylight balanced light bulbs so the ambient light should not affect the settings ?

I have just calibrated again at a setting of 2.2/5800k and the colours are now looking a little more neutral although the whites are still a touch warmish/yellow....

I am attempting to calibrate my setup for photographic work. Can anyone help advise ?
