U2415, question on calibration
I heard that the default standard mode is the setting which the monitor was factory calibrated for, however after a day or two I noticed some eye strain, so I went into the color menu and changed the preset to color temps > 6500k. Is the standard mode not set to 6500k? I'm wondering if it was calibrated at something higher, so will I need to redo the calibration to get accurate colors?

Regarding Standard mode white point:

Read 1st and 2nd paragraph
Same applies to "6500K" mode. It may be not 6500K CCT, but even with a corelated color temp of exactly 6500K it may not be white (I mean "D65"), because CCT is NOT a proper way to address "actual white" (not "target white") of a monitor.
That CCT description lacks of information about white deviation in green-pink axis. It's better to seek for low deltaE to "D-whites" curve arround a desired D-white.
For example, 6664K CCT with distance of 0.8dE to 6600K D-white is a better white to your eyes than 6520K CCT with 4dE distance to D65)
Custom (I mean "user") calibration of U2415 is done in "custom color" mode.
