Dell U2715H 27-Inch Widescreen IPS LED Monitor

Product Information

Q: The DUCCS software looks similar to i1Profiler software from X-Rite. Can I use i1Profiler software instead?

This solution lets you get the best, most accurate, color possible with your Dell UltraSharp display. Note: These FAQs assume that the owner of a DELL UltraSharp monitor can use the menu options and physical controls of the display. A: Each computer configuration can differ in terms of how long the measurement and computation of a display profile will require. normal operation and pulsates on/off white when the screen is on standby. Unlike some of the other UltraSharp screens we've seen A: One benefit of the Advanced mode is the ability to save information at any point in the workflow. Many people would choose to save their measurement file prior to moving to the final stage of creating the display profile. Being able to review a measurement file can be helpful if you encounter an error in creating a profile. You can then reload that saved measurement file and see if a change in profile creation settings allows you to complete the profile. This saves considerable time vs. having to redo the entire measurement process.

Note: We assume that most people are using the X-Rite i1DisplayPro. Other X-Rite devices such as the i1PRO2 can be user, but will take longer. A: The DUCCS software is based on i1Profiler technology. But please use the DUCCS software to access the hardware color controls to achieve best results. Use of i1Profiler is possible, but not optimal. A: This is caused by comparing two displays of different manufacturers, often with different display quality levels. The screen’s colour accuracy was outstanding, as our colour calibrator showed it was already displaying 100% of the sRGB colour gamut at its default settings. With such a perfect score, we had no need to calibrate it, and its colour coverage was incredibly deep across red, green and blue colour spaces. This is one of the few screens we’ve seen that doesn’t require colour calibration out of the box, and it even performs well in wider-ranging colour gamuts, managing 99.5% of Adobe RGB, too. A: The Automatic Display Control (ADC) feature can take a number of minutes with the UltraSharp, due to the complete control of the hardware offered. The current version of the software does not have a cancel button available until the ADC feature completes. We would recommend that you allow the ADC process to complete to avoid having the display end up in an unstable color condition.

A: Yes, the Advanced mode offers direct control of the color control hardware that is built into the DELL UltraSharp, and can produce a better result. A: XRD refers to X-Rite Device Services. This is software that automatically loads when you launch DUCCS, and then handles device communication with the software. This allows us to update device communication features separately to updating the entire software program. When comparing two different displays, you need to ensure both use the same color temperature, luminance, gamma, and contrast settings at a minimum. A: If you are using two displays, setting them to the same luminance level is critical if you wish to see similar color results. Display color temperature changes with the luminance level set, so establishing a common luminance setting is an important step in making displays look more similar. Q: In the Licensing area on the home screen, the last four icons have a red question mark. What is wrong?

Superior image quality and an impressive range of inputs make this one of the best monitors of 2013

A: GB LED is the specific illumination hardware that is used by the UltraSharp. This is automatically selected when the software recognizes the UltraSharp is in use. Many other displays use other lighting technologies, such as White LED. GB LED illumination offers many technical advantages in rendering more accurate color on-screen. rate and fast response time TN Film panel. This showed very fast pixel response times and smooth movement thanks to Also consider is the viewing angle each display is using. LCD displays do not have the same color response off-angle, and it is likely that when using two screens you will sit in front of one, or between the two resulting in a different viewing angle for each display. good, and you could tell it was a standard gamut screen. We went ahead and measured the default state with A: Although we would like it if you owned more than one DELL branded display, you can use the DUCCS software with a non-DELL display.
