when using the sRGB preset, it's my understanding that you'll need to make sure you're using an sRGB monitor profile, too (not the profile for the default wide gamut mode that U2711 ships with).Īs for color saturation, are the images tagged as sRGB? If not, and you're not using a color managed application (for example Photoshop), it's likely you would see washed out colors (images tagged as Adobe RGB or similar will look "washed out" unless you're using an application that knows how to interpret images saved on anything other than an sRGB color space). Thanks - will appreciate any answers i might get. I dont own an automated color profiler so adjusting the monitor is by hand, on a review of the monitor i've found some settings that should "perfect" the color accuracy - but the setting makes the monitor look dim :-/ I've set the ICC Profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (also tried AdobeRGB) but i dont see a difference between the two. If i change profile on the monitor to Standard, Gaming or Multimedia red, green and blue looks correctly saturated.Īpplying color profiles in Windows 7 does NOTHING - i don't see any change at all. This makes me think that something might be wrong ? What i'm now pondering about, is that sRGB feels unsaturated, 100% red doesn't feel red, 100% green doesn't feel green and so is it with Blue and all the colors in between. I've set the monitor for sRGB after reading a few articles that suggest that sRGB is the best mode because everyone who views pictures on the web will experience pictures in sRGB colorspace - and thus what i create, they will see. I dont know much about Color Profiles, until now i've only tried applying a color profile in Windows 7 - but dont really see a difference. The color acuracy is great for this monitor, I will still use it to check color, but will get a 4k one for main display.So i've finally bought a nice IPS monitor with Wide Color Gamut and 100% sRGB and now i want to make sure that all settings are set correct for optimal color reproduction. I'm also selling two of mine, depending on where you are. Sounds like your monitor isn't working properly, same as my dodgy one. Sorry I just re-read your post and now I understand why you're not using HDMI directly.
Also if that gets it working at Full HD and you have a newer NVIDIA card, you may not need CRU at all. It sounds to me like cables are the issue at the moment, apart from the fact that you tried it with another monitor and it worked so I'm no sure. That should give you Full HD, and from there you can try using CRU.

You said you have HDMI output, but I didn't see anywhere that you said you'd tried it directly to the HDMI port on the monitor. I only have VGA and HDMI output ports, so HDMI is my only chance to get 2560 full res on u2711.
Where do I find this extension block? I am using windows8.1 64 bit Now I am trying my last option, HDMI to DVI.
So I tried a HDMI to DP to see if I can use the DP port, same problem and message. u2711 seems detects cable is plug in, but pop up a screen saying no signal from your computer blabla. Long story: For whatever reason, I always get no signal in u2711's HDMI port. My HDMI should output 1080p, I tested it on another full HD monitor and works using HDMI. Short story: using hdmi to dvi adaptor (I also have a hdmi to dvi cable, but it is single link), both only give me 1680x1650. Is there any other settings I might need to change? Or would it be helpful to post any other screenshots?
I checked and I do have an HDMI data block in the extension block (screenshot: ), and so I installed the patch and then redid the custom resolution and restarted the drivers, but it's still not giving me a higher resolution. (01-22-2019 10:53 AM)benanna88 Wrote: Thanks for your reply Toasty.
