BEST S95C BT.2020 WIDE GAMUT Calibration Settings

These are the new calibration settings to get accurate color at the D65 white point in HDR in the BT.2020 WIDE GAMUT and SDR using a spectrophotometer, colorimeter, Calman Ultimate, and a pattern generator for the best accuracy possible.

Note: THIS IS FOR GAME MODE ONLY & YOU MUST HAVE THE HDMI PORT SET TO PC MODE!!!

sRGB Calibration: NOTE FOR SOME REASON USING THE BT.2020 COLOR SPACE IN HDR LOCKS OUT ALL COLOR CHANGES IN SDR EXCEPT COLOR INTENSITY ON MY CURRENT FIRMWARE. IF THIS IS THE CASE FOR YOU NONE OF THE RGB CHANGES YOU MAKE WILL DO ANYTHING AND COLOR MIGHT NEED TO BE REDUCED FROM 25 TO 13-15. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE INCLUDED AN ICC PROFILE TO HELP CORRECT IT IN sRGB. THIS PROFILE MUST ONLY BE USED IF YOU ARE HAVING MY SAME ISSUE.
