Hello,
i'm an unlucky owner of a Dell 9570 laptop with 4K Wide Gamut Display.
There are a lot of issues with Windows Color Management and this display resulting in an oversaturated image in non color-managed apps. I've calibrated the display with DisplayCAL (sRGB/120cd.m/D65) resulting in good results in apps like Photoshop, Chrome, CaptureOne etc. which use the created .icc profile.
Can I do the same with Resolve, making the whole GUI and Viewer monitor go through the .icc profile?
Or maybe there are some software to convert the .icc into a 3Dlut that I can use for display ONLY for the laptop monitor?
I do my critical grade with MiniMonitor SDI output into a calibrated Flanders display, but sometimes i need to do some grading on the road, or just to judge the image while editing.

Thanks
Luigi

DisplayCal has a facility to generate a LUT that Resolve can use in the UI. Youtube has a few 'how-to' vids to explain the process. If you are working in ACES CM it's corrupts the tones in the edit window so this is not a fully functional feature yet.

Open DisplayCAL, make sure your current profile is loaded, select Options/Enable 3D LUT tab. Choose IRIDAS .cube and Create 3D LUT. Save it to the Resolve LUT directory.

In DisplayCAL Profile loader (in the taskbar) you must define an exception for Resolve with Reset video card gamma table option so that calibration gets reset when Resolve is running since calibration is already written into the LUT.

In Resolve, assign the LUT to 3D Video Monitor (3D color viewer should pick up the same LUT as per default settings). That way you should have correct colors in both Edit and Color pages. Don't forget to remove the LUT from 3D Video Monitor when grading via Mini Monitor.

Could you describe step by step where I find the profile loader and how I define an exeption exactly as you did?

Profile loader should be in your taskbar (multi colored circle icon) if you had allowed DisplayCAL to load profiles instead of windows at installation time. If not, you can find it in the start menu (search "profile loader" and run it that way.
Once it's running, right click on the taskbar icon, menu pops up and there you select "exceptions" add resolve.exe from disk, checkmark the red semi-circle and that should be it.
