Same monitor, and redish color on the skin tones realy makes me seek. I just wondering, maybe you can share your 6500k white pointĬalibrated profile for Dell 3007wfp-hc? Because i'v jus't bought the Tomorrow night, I'll try to calibrate to 6700K on XP and see what happens. It looks like I will be migrating to Vista. After setting the white point to 6500 and calibrating with i1, the colors displayed by the Vista's Windows Photo Gallery (equivalent of the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in XP) were IDENTICAL to the ones in PhotoShop! The browsers, however, were still messed up under Vista the same level as they were under XP. Before calibration, the images were pretty red as well.

The second experiment was to install Vista on another partition. ThumbsPlus showed identical colors as PhotoShop under WinXP. I also found that a couple of color managed image viewer programs that can be used under XP, Faststone ImageViewer and ThumbsPlus. The browsers, IE, Firefox and Safari, were still showing red images. I am happy to report that after calibrating to 6500K, the redness was greatly reduced and the image displayed by non-color managed apps were much closer to the same one displayed in PSCS or CS3. After i1 finished the calibration, it reported that the white point was indeed at 6500K. In contrast, the good old 3007WFP default was 6700.Īlthough I used a third party tool called softMCCS to set the white point to 6500K, I am not sure if that was necessary. By default, the 3007WFP-HC is set at 5700 to 5900, way too red. The first experiment was to set the white point to 6500K. I have experienced all of that and was at a point considering keeping the broken 3007WFP but decided to try two new things. The colors are always correct in color managed applications such as PhotoShop.


I know many folks had a lot of problems with this monitor due oversatured colors, especially the red color which messes up the skin tones pretty bad. Guess what came as the replacement? The current wide gamut 3007WFP-HC of course! Well, my carefully chosen Dell 3007WFP developed a "screen fog" problem and had to be replaced.
