How to set U2410 to 6500K?
I am trying to calibrate my U2410 monitor with a SpyderPro3. I am instructed to set the white point to 6500K. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any setting for this. Perhaps one of the preset modes has this as a default setting? If so, which one?
Thanks

I have just purchased a U2410 too - but unfortuanely have experienced the dreaded Green/Pint tinting Issue.
I am now onto the third repalcement and in desperation purchased a SpyderPro3 to try and sort it out.
I think any of the preset modes are 6500k 2.2 Gamma by default?
I tried calibratiing first on Standard preset, which was terrible, then on Custom (which you would assume would be the best) and this was pretty good and lastly on Abobe RGB which was why I bought the monitor - for the wide Adobe colour space.
This produced the best results for me - but your needs may be different, ie for web based stuff sRGB may be better. I was unable to calibrate the monitor with the Spder at first, because the default Brightness and Contrast setting on this monitor are too bright. Best results were with Brightness/Contrast set to how you might actually use it. ie For me Brightness 15 Contrast 40.
This resulted in a really good calibration. BUT - the monitor still had the Green/Pink tinting which affects how colours appear on screen - so ultimately this monitor is useless for Photo editing or Graphic Design. Actually the monitor was also Brighter in the Centre than the top or bottom - and this was where the Spyder was reading
So after wasting 10 days testing, tweaking and calibrating I have given up and returned it.
I was impressed with the results of the Spyder though and figure that is money well spent
Good Luck!
