    Dell XPS 15 Users - How many of you are using calibrated display profile?

    Hey,

    I just want to know how many people are using the profile located in the owners lounge and why are you using it? Does it make the display even better than it is at default?

    Does it make watching movies/videos color better?

    I do not know much about calibrated display profiles so I was just wondering.

    Please share your thoughts,

    Thanks.

    It should improve colours, even though each panel is unique and it is not specifically calibrated for yours.

    I am using the calibrated profile, but even when switching it on and off I can't really tell the difference... However without the calibration sometimes when I use chrome the colours seem really faded and it starts getting somewhat difficult to use. This problem doesn't appear with the calibrated profile, so I just decided to stick with it.

    I use it. Without it the screen is way too bluish to me.

    It only affects colors of pictures you view with windows photo viewer or things in photoshop etc. Other things look the same.
