I am not sure why we do not publish in the manual exactly what each color setting represents. It would be very helpful and informative to our customers instead of leaving them guessing.
Adjusting colors should not have any effect on the other presets.
The presets are exactly that “presets”. You select the preset you want and they have no interaction with previous preset selections.
Since it would be "helpful and informative" how about publishing them here? For a monitor positioned as an entry-level professional graphics monitor, such information is essential to its proper intended use. For example, the "Standard" color mode setting is documented as "Loads the monitor's default color settings" but no where is it documented what those default settings are. I am intending to use this monitor in a professional-level color-managed photo editing workflow and I need those technical details.
In the same vein, how about more detailed documentation of the Ultrasharp Calibration Software as well. Other than listing the 5 color spaces it can calibrate to (and by-the-way, exactly what color space is the listed "Ultrasharp Native"?) what are the options and implications of each user-controlled parameter? The published user guide doesn't say much more than "plug in the calibrator and run the software."
What would be the result of using the Dell software to do a hardware calibration and then the stock xRite software to generate an OS level software ICC profile of the calibrated monitor to further fine tune its settings? Or does the Dell software actually do that already after it sets up the CAL1 or CAL2 hardware profiles? In other words, if I want to do a software calibration of the "Standard" preset using the standard software that comes with the xRite colorimeter, can I do that?
I do not author the edocs. I sent your thoughts to the team that does. That is all I can do. You cannot mix our version of the x-rite with the retail one. Other users have tried and encountered many issues.
I think it has be answered too many times or could be found in the forum but...

First install DCCS, second x-rite i1Profie FROM their web not CD:
Third copy x-rite program file folder to another location, then unistall it. Reboot.
It works, at least for me (W7x64SP1)

"Standard" White Point varies with each unit, it think Factory Callibration Report show "native whitepoint" as the constant WP temperature in the brightness-contrast versus Temperature chart.
