Setting up Dell S2417DG monitor

1. Install nVidia drivers and make sure you have NVIDIA Control Panel. Choose correct resolution (2560x1440) and desired refresh rate

2. Factory reset the settings on your monitor (open OSD, then Others > Factory Reset) S2417DG ICC from here http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm

   • Download and open. You won't see anything happen. Then go here http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm#install and read the Windows 7 section starting at the step saying 'Tick the "use my settings for this device" check box'

3. You will have to every time you boot until you script it (I haven't yet), but this makes the most difference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/6cwnrb/fixing_color_banding_on_the_dell_s2417dg_s2716dg/

   • The top reply also has some good research but I didn't find the numbers very useful. He/she's right about >0.67 gamma.

Then I tweaked on my own using these settings as a starting point: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/7rucne/is_this_the_legendary_color_banding_on_the_dell/dt4oula/
