Dell U2515 and Acer Predator XB271HUT calibration

[Gamdschiee]

Hey,

 

I got my first 144 Hz monitor yersterday. I had a Dell u2515h before, but I use it as a side monitor now. The only thing I am kinda shocked about is the colour difference between the Dell and the Acer. The Dell comes with a AH-IPS Panel and the Acer with a bit weaker IPS-Panel I think. Because the colours of the Dell look very clean and just perfect in my opinion.

Here some pictures for comparison(first is with f.lux 3000K and second with 6500K):

 

 

 

So how can I improve the color quality as much as possible so that it will be the same, but still good looking? It's important to use f.lux for me, because my eyes will hurt when it is the light is too bright. Also it's weird for my eyes to switch from that color to the other color on the other monitor.

 

It feels like the Acer is very weak in comparison with the Dell U2515. AH-IPS panels are just amazing.

You can use the Window Monitor Calibration software to try to get your Acer as close as possible. If you have access to a hardware calibration device (such as a spyder or an i1display) then you can tune both your Dell and the Acer to a color gamut such as sRGB instead. Though, ultimately, you will be physically limited by the color performance of the Acer and how it is inferior to that of the Dell.
