This monitor does not support hardware calibration (e.g., writing calibration to the monitor's built-in LUT). It can be successfully calibrated using software color profiling and can even (mostly) be made to match another display technology albeit at significant cost to deltaE accuracy. I have this monitor paired against a Dell wide-gamut CCFL 100% Adobe RGB monitor and achieved a reasonable color match for whites and gray tones. I am using an X-Rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter, Calibrating my monitors individually I am able to achieve a very high accuracy deltaE match and linear profile for each. However, when calibrated to the same apparent D65 white point the LG monitor has a definite reddish cast and my Dell a definite greenish cast. The net effect is that calibrating to white point with high overall accuracy was pretty much useless. I attribute this to the generic backlight profiles supplied by X-Rite. If you have an i1Pro2 (or better yet a reference spectrophotometer) I'd definitely recommend measuring the backlight spectra for your monitor(s) and using that as a reference calibration. The resolution of a 4k or 5k "retina" monitor (>140ppi @ 30") is definitely worth it for photo editing. It is significantly easier to detect focus and sharpness issues on the 4K display than on my 2K display. I am a hobbyist and was willing to spend the enormous amount of time it took me to accomplish the task of matching my displays. As a professional the money you save on this monitor will be wasted many times over versus the time you save by purchasing a higher priced Eizo or NEC display that supports the color accuracy features you need. Spend the money and don't look back.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have Spyder 5 and it calibrates easily.
