I just purchased a Dell U2410 and am having color managment issues.
Symptoms are...
With the default settings, no calibration profile applied, I get a slight red/pinkish cast to the screen, i.e.greys appear slightly pink.
After calibrating with a Spider3 Elite the color cast becomes extreme, i.e. greys are now very red/pink.
The only way I can get greys to be grey is to drop the red gain in the monitors adjustments menu down but any attempt to calibrate it with this adjustment still results in bad red/pink color cast.
Also, I calibrated a 3 year old cheap 22" LG monitor on the same PC using the same procedure and it now has good colours so I don't think it's software or puck related.
Before I give up and send the monitor back as defective I thought I'd see if anybody else had experienced this and that I'm not doing something dumb.
Setting the custom color gain to R=63, G=100, B=100 seems to do the job for me, grey now looks grey (at least to my imperfect color vision) and the display is now a reasonable match for a test print. Doesn't seem right that I should have to do that though.
Great. Try for a good Delta deviation in the profile.
The wide gamut units have an incredible brightness range that doesn't profile well so cutting the drive helps.

i've heard that using custom color mode on the U2410 isn't wise since it makes warps and kinks in the profile

ref. prad.de
but maybe a newer revisionhas changed this
Interesting, I don't read German so couldn't get much from prad.de. I'm, still in two minds as to whether to keep the monitor or send it back, it looks ok to my eye but conifidence has been dented
Any idea how I can test for thes "warps and kinks" which you spoke of?
