My monitor menu will not let me change gamma settings under Gamer1, Gamer2, or Gamer3 profiles (And several other, but I'm more concerned about these because they can be saved). The word "Gamma" is grey and un-clickable.
The gamma slider in "Windows Calibrate Display Color" works, but it resets after the monitor wakes up.
How do I fix this?

Re: XL2420Z Gamma Settings?
You cant change the gamma settings in the FPS and RTS profiles. If you saved a FPS profile (I believe all the monitors default to FPS1) to a gamer preset, then gamma cannot be changed, since the default color profile you used didn't allow gamma changes.
You have to use Standard, then save it to a profile, and then you can change the gamma. You can only change black equalizer in the FPS profiles (not in standard).
For reference, the FPS1 profile uses a gamma point of somewhere between 2.2 to 2.4'ish; you can replicate the gamma (on the 2720Z, not sure about the 2420Z as that is a different panel) by using gamma 4 on the 2720Z to make it about 2.2 (with a bit of overshoot at high brightness), while gamma 5 looks "closest" to FPS1, with FPS1 having slightly more saturation. The color and white/black/saturation presets of FPS1 are calibrated differently than standard, so you can never make standard look exactly like FPS1, even if both are set to 100,100,100 RGB.
