In my everlasting quest for all things color management, I stumbled on a report which showed in text format, my monitor "primaries", on Windows. I bet the same information is available somewhere on MacOS? Here's a partial listing of the DirectX report, in response to the 'dxdiag.exe' entered on the command line (an amazing wealth of information) : ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 12/27/2019, 10:06:58 Machine name: XPS8930 Machine Id: {DD9A4370-91B8-4345-89FA-C479EE2FB635} Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 18362) (18362.19h1_release.190318-1202) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) ..

Snip .. It's interesting that the reported 'Primaries' chromaticities correspond to the 'Native gamut' - and not the current values, why? Yet, the White Point information is correct. Best / Roger
This makes sense to me as a device description, because the native primaries cannot be changed, while the white point may be either fixed at the factory or adjustable in either the monitor hardware or driver. Native R,G,B and the "native" white produced when the graphics card RGB outputs are equal, are the values that need to be known in order to create a display profile. -----Original Message----- From: colorsync-users <colorsync-users-bounces+waynebretl=cox.net@lists.apple.com> On Behalf Of Roger Breton via colorsync-users Sent: Friday, December 27, 2019 10:06 AM To: ''colorsync-users?lists.apple.com' List' <colorsync-users@lists.apple.com> Subject: DXDIAG (DirectX) ...
