Dell™ Ultra Sharp Color Calibration Solution This solution lets you get the best, most accurate, color possible with your Dell Ultra Sharp U3014 display when used with an X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter. The Dell™ Ultra Sharp 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. s RGB b. Adobe RGB c. Rec. 709 d. DCI-P3 e. Ultra Sharp 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™ Ultra Sharp 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 Ultra Sharp 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”
