The custom mode MAY be good, you don't know that for sure, unless you check the other modes as well.

Again, don't go by what people say online <except Tp4issue>, they either don't have a colorimeter and generally don't understand their device/measurements.

Load up default 2.2 setting from the top menu, go to verification. Then run the simulation profile testing as below

In Most cases, to maximize the contrast ratio, you'll prolly need to go into the dell hidden menu and tug on the rgb gain settings. UNLESS those settings work out in the custom mode, or possibly standard mode is already peak.

Test the modes first: vv

These things come out very different from the factory, one mode might do something for someone else, but NOT YOU, because the gains are set wrong at the factory.

Just looked at the manual for ur monitor, u can tell this is not targeted @ videophiles, it spends most of the pages telling you how to use the backlit leds hahahaha.

OK, test the following modes, under standard, test Warm, Cool, and Custom(set to 6504k via displaycal's interactive whitepoint). Test the custom mode a second time, with all the rgb values pushed to the highest. it'll look wrong, but you're just trying to figure out which gain is the weakest, and you'll try to target that channel's peak brightness with the other channels so that you get peak contrast.

Make sure the dynamic contrast is disabled, and all other settings that affect contrast. such as that black stabilizer.

Then go into the factory hidden menu, and check what goodies are available in there.
