Dear Wire,

Do you have any information about this process? I'm curious what kind of
"cal" and "loading of internal LUTs" do? Call me skeptical. According to my
reading on the subject, so far, from Dell's docu and other monitor brand's
software, the "cal slots" or "presets" would be used to "store" calibration
settings such as target gamma and color temperature but they don't give the
user access to the factory LUTs?
Thanks for your help in advance / Roger

Turns out Dell offers the Xrite i1display app for WIn and Mac free and it
works with non-dell branded i1displays. This SW can be used cal and load
internal LUTs (there are two user cal slots available).
Use same i1display with DisplayCal and a newer 10-bit display port data path
and for $600 total cost including colorimeter (!wow) ($700 if u want a 27in
display, QHD) you are doing gorgeous wide gamut that's pure as virgin snow.
I have found my 8-bit setup is producing perfectly smooth tonality with
superb response, even without the custom LUT, so I will not seek to upgrade
vid in this old Mac as not needed for my purposes. Safe to say that with
this display you mosdef can see the limits of 8-bit appear in certain
gradients. So I see why the industry has gone to "billions of colors"
I did have a glitch where for a while DisplayCal got weird and started
producing weird lumpy results. I shut it down, unplugged DTP94 then started
over and everything was sweet again. No matter how far things advance, it
seems a personal computer must be arbitrarily reset sometimes to make it
work.
I'm using MacOS Mojave on a 2008 Mac Pro with an NVidia GTX680 over
DVI-to-HDMI
