What does the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution do?

This solution lets you get the best, most accurate, color possible with your Dell UltraSharp U2413/U2713H display when used with an X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter. The Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution provides three major functions:

1. Based on measurements with the i1Display Pro Colorimeter, and using special monitor-based adjustments, it sets the display primaries to accurately emulate any of the five standard display color spaces: sRGB, AdobeRGB, Rec. 709, DCI-P3, and UltraSharp native.
2. Based on measurements of standard test patches, it calibrates the display to standard gamma values, white points, and gray balance for the color space emulation that you select.
3. Based on measurements of a “characterization” set of test colors, it calculates and writes an ICC profile for the display and activates the profile in the Windows Operating System.

What are the major benefits of using the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution along with the i1Display Pro Colorimeter?

Major benefits of using the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution along with the i1Display Pro Colorimeter on a regular basis include:

• Colors in photos, design work, movies, and web pages appear as the content creator intended.
• Stable, predictable color – the colors look the same now and later.
• Consistent and accurate colors assured across the Dell UltraSharp monitors.
• Accurate profiles for use with “color managed” applications and printer drivers so that the color that prints is the color that you saw and for accurate “soft proofing”.

How do I install the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution?

1. Connect the USB cable to your host computer. (Refer to the Quick Start Guide or User Guide that comes with your U2413 / U2713H display). Your UltraSharp U2413/U2713H will function as a high-quality display without the USB connection, but connecting it will give the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution the control that it needs to accurately set up the color space emulations and calibrate the display.
2. Double click the installer and then follow the step-by-step on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

What do I need to use the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution software?

You will need an X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter to use the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution software. The X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter is available in selected countries for purchase from Dell. Kindly contact a Dell representative to find out if its available in your country. X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter is also available from X-Rite’s North American and Pantone online stores, and also from X-Rite’s worldwide network of resellers.

How do I use the Dell™ UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution?

1. Plug the X-Rite i1Display Pro Colorimeter into any available host USB port on your computer or on the display (Refer to the Quick Start Guide or User Guide that comes with your U2413/U2713H display).

• NOTE: Once you begin the profiling process ensure that you do not change any of the color settings from the front panel using the On-Screen-Display (OSD) menu. Changing these settings during calibration could cause the measurements to be inconsistent and lead to inaccurate calibrations and profiles. If you change any of these settings after running the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution, results may not be accurate and you may need to run the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution again.
