I try to calibrate the ASUS PA238Q Monitor with my SPYDER 2 Plus.
While calibrating the Spyder software asks after a while for adjusting RGB (by using the OSD Menu of the monitor)
Now it comes, this wonderful monitor shows 4 different adjustment windows.
- Six-axis Hue
- Six axis Saturation
Both with 6 sliders R,G,B,C,M,Y, preset at 50
-Gain, preset 77,with 3 sliders R,G,B
-Offset, preset 50,with 3 sliders R,G,B
In order to get the requested result of the Spyder software only the GAIN delivers the adjustment.
Why not the other sliders? What can I do with the other sliders?
Tried to find an answer on the web but all tests or YouTube footage don't show anything about this issue.
Thanks for any reply.

On some monitors those controls do more damage than good, especially if you will profile anyway and care more about color-managed programs than unmanaged programs, it depends though.
With those controls you try to place the xyY coordinates of each primary and secondary to match sRGB/REC701 standard sinc eunmanaged stuff like games/tv/movies expects that, for color-managed stuff you don't need to move those around just leave them at native gamut position.
