new XL2420Z here, help me calibrate

[William]

Hi,
I just got my new monitor XL2420Z please help me calibrate the colors and also how to use the strobe utility.

The new monitor is connected through DVI as there is another monitor on the HDMI port in my Asus GTX 660

Thanks

I tried to use the stop utility but I dont understand from the instruction how I should adjust the crosstalk, any advise ?

[Razorless]

Use this in fullscreen for choosing the right settings in the strobe utility (testufo moving photo alien invasion):

The short answer:
Create a custom resolution in the Nvidia control panel with a VT of 1350/1500.
Set the crosstalk slider all the way to the left.
Persistence: Moving this to the right increases brightness but also motion blur.

If you feel dizzy looking at the fast moving UFOs you can decrease their speed in the middle dropdown menu.

I noticed a new problem now, in any preset I see the colors are distorted for example in the shutdown screen shot taken by mobile from IPS monitor you see the full colors but with the other picture you see the blue color distorted

Please advise if I should RMA the monitor or I can adjust the monitor by some settings.

Only Standard, Photo and gamer1 does has this problem all the other presets has the blue color distorted

o.o what?
Your last message sounds like EVERY preset has the shutdown blue color distortion problem.
read what you wrote again.

And I really don't know.
You know an IPS monitor usually has a wider color gamut, right (usually covers more of the sRGB color space)

Use aida64's monitor diagnostics test (registered version if you want to get rid of the very annoying watermarks) and go to the color and palette/hue tests, or use "Eizo monitor test" (doesn't require an eizo) and check for blue purity and gradiants.

if those tests pass, then you can safely disregard what you are seeing on the shutdown screen.

Sorry I meant only Standard, Photo and gamer1 does not has this problem

will try the tools you said
