Product: Z24x Dreamcolor Monitor
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I just got the Z24x Dreamcolor monitor as an early Christmas present from my wife. It is working perfectly and I have no issues with the hardware. What I am having issue with is finding out how to use it. I do know color management and how to set things up with the Adobe Suite. But after scouring the Interwebs, I can't for the life of me find the information I need about how to set up the monitor.

 

What I'd like to do (if possible) is to set up the monitor so that what I see is what will be printed by the professional shop. I am assuming that I'll need a colorimeter to do that. But I'd prefer to know the details of what I'm doing before I drop the change for the tool. It's very unlikely that I won't need it, I agree. But just in case I'd like to know the fine details first, because it's a good chunk of cash. But I can't find any info on how to set things up. Every search I make instead returns either sites selling the monitor or sites reviewing it. Virtually zero support sites. It's very frustrating. 

 

I'm assuming the reason for the lack of info is that the monitor is mainly designed for large shops and businesses who have the resources and technical staff who's job is to know these things. But I'm an individual freelancer without those resources. I know color management using software, but until now I've not needed to learn how to set up the hardware. Thus my dilemma. 

 

So if someone could direct me to a website or manual that could fill in my missing knowledge I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
