With the latest v250 firmware I am able to use my X-Rite i1Display Pro with the HP Dreamcolor Z27x to self-calibrate. That's great, although I'm a bit concerned by this recently received assertion by a color grading expert:
"Unfortunately the Dreamcolor has no 3D LUT capability. It only use a 1D LUT and 3x3 matrix. Consequently, it cannot be accurately calibrated."
Regardless of whether the monitor is accurately calibrated, the next step is to provide my computer's color management system with a compatible ICC profile. As articulated in this article:
"(after self calibration...) The associated Display ICC profile can then be a simple curve and matrix profile, or curve and colourant profile, simply defining the display's calibration.
For example, if the display has been 3D LUT calibrated to Rec709, the ICC profile would define the gamma as being 2.4, and the gamut as being, well, Rec709.
As the display is accurately calibrated there is no need for any additional information to be held within the Display ICC profile, and the graphics program CMM will only be asked to perform a simple colour space conversion, if needed!"
So how/where do I get such an ICC profile?
