Make sure that you have the display turn on for at least 15 minutes before you start the calibration process. This will give your display time for the backlight to warm up and stabilize. This step is still crucial even with LED Backlight to ensure the best profile possible.

Please note that if you have a hardware calibrated display, it is highly recommended that you use the display manufacture software to preform the calibration to get the best result because said software would access the LUT that is build into the display. This is something that software profiling approach such as Calibrite Profilier that cannon do. This guide, however, will apply to most displays that many of us have which are ones that are not capable of hardware calibration.

The device used in this video is theCalibrite Display Plus HL. This guide will work any device that is compatible with Calibrite Profilier. Note that pro level devices, such as the one that I am using in this demo, will give more control over various aspects of the profile.

This guide will walk you through how to validate the calibration result as well as a brief explanation how to intrepid the ∆e read out value.
