<p>I searched and didn't find this exact question addressed, and looked to find a place on the NEC website to ask support, but couldn't find one. So forgive me if this has been beat to death and I'm just too stupid to find it!<br /> I have been using my NEC P221 for a few years after reading its praises here, mainly for the unique feature set, price point, ease and quality of profiling hardware/software, and the supposed ability to "dumb it down" to srgb. (I send any print work to various labs that require srgb and I am concerned with how the images look on client copmuters, and don't do any landscape prints inhouse on inkjet printers, so no need to try to convince me I don't want to be in srgb.)<br /> Using the Sprctra Sensor Pro, the latest Spectraview software, if I calibrate and profile choosing either Native or Adobe RGB gamuts, gamma 2.2, I am able to obtain a low luminance (say 100 cdm2) and low contrast ratio (300:1,) and low delta e (.30.) setup is able to reach a black point that is necessary for the 300:1 ratio @ 100 cdm2.<br /> However, when I try to calibrate and profile choosing 100 cdm2 luminance, 2.2 gamma, 300:1 contrast ratio, and sRGB gamut, while the desired gamut, white point, and gamma are reached, the desired black point is never reached, the results are somewhere around a 1,000:1 ratio and a delta e of around 6. The same results occur if I raise the luminance to 120 cdm2.<br /> Is there something wrong with my monitor, or is this a harware limitation when choking the gamut down from native to srgb?<br /> TIA,<br /> Charles</p>
