You need a hardware calibration tool like Datacolor SpyderX or something else. I had the 4k display with 98% Adobe RGB and calibrate it with that tool. Wide uncalibrated garmut displays makes absolutly no sense.

I’ve tried the old “by eye” calibration which I know isn’t going to be perfect, no matter what I do the screen either ends up looking perfect until I export the files to another device and realise it was calibrated to be slightly warm with oversaturated greens (meaning the output looks more beige in areas it should be yellow/green) OR for a closer matching output the screen looks super cool and with a blue/grey tinge, my eyes adjust to this to when I export although it’s closer to true it takes a good 5-10mins for my eyes to adjust back to normal so it doesn’t look whack. 
 

It’s a shame because in games it looks stunning, it must be because I do macro photography so a lot of the subject is in super high detail with almost black backgrounds so the colours are very pronounce, with landscape I imagine the huge variety of colours mixing negates this. 
 

I’m not throwing the towel in though, I’ve found someone within a 30min drive that *might* be willing to use their Spyder, trying to bribe them with the promise of beers and/or compensation.
