In order to accurately calibrate any monitor, you're going to need a calibration tool such as this.

Could someone explain to me how to calibrate this monitor? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-27-led-qhd-gsync-monitor-black/5293502.p?skuId=5293502&ref=199&loc=8BacdVP0GFs&acampID=1&siteID=8BacdVP0GFs-JY6vxw8C_g9mkEMQQvzk2w According to this website https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s2716dg it has a score of 6.5 pre-calibration and 9.6 post calibration.

 

While these two websites show different model numbers, DG and DGR, I do believe they are the exact same monitors. Any help will be much appreciated.

@Overl0rd Oh wow. I thought I could just tweak the settings or something. I ain't paying hundreds of more dollars just to calibrate what already looks excellent.
