    People,

    I just got a spyder5pro to calibrate by xps15 4k screen. I originally set the gamma to 2.2 as default but I noticed the blacks are all crushed using the below pic as reference.

    I noticed someone else had the same issue with the xps 13.

    I recalibrated the screen at gamma=1.8 and it is much better although still not perfect. The only way to recover the blacks fully is to use the intel HD graphics controller and set the gamma from 1.0 to 1.3 after calibration.

    Anyone has this issue and is there a way to calibrate correctly using spyder without any manual adjustments?
