The Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution

e. Monitor 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.

Colors in photos, design work, movies, and web pages appear as the content creator intended
