DreamColor internal 1D LUT.
NOTE: If CalMAN fails to connect to the DreamColor Z27x, you may need to reset the
monitor. To do this, cycle the master power switch on the rear panel of the DreamColor
Z27x, and then wait 2 minutes before connecting to the DreamColor within CalMAN.

information on this page. This information will then be available on a calibration report.
e. Pre Calibration View
If you wish to document the monitor’s performance prior to calibration, you can do that on this
page. This information will then be available on a calibration report.
f. Mode Settings
On the Mode Settings page, you can make monitor measurements to help decide which modes
in which to operate the monitor for calibration.
g. Disable Auto Features
Skip this page. The DreamColor monitor has no automatic features that require disabling.
h. Dynamic Range
Follow the instructions on the Dynamic Range page to adjust the monitor’s Contrast control as
high as possible without causing one of the red, green, or blue lines to become nonlinear. Do
not be concerned that the RGB lines are separated from each other at this point in the
calibration process.
Adjust the monitor’s Brightness control to produce the desired maximum luminance level.
