Hello,

I can buy a used one for 50$. I know it can only do 2.2 gamma and 6500K white point but for now that's all what I need (only srgb output to web).
What about color accuracy ? That is important for me.

It won't work with glossy displays or displays with LED backlights. But otherwise, it's a decent colorimeter (and the one I use).


"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

LED, not LCD. It can calibrate LCD displays if they have CFL backlights. Your Dell has LED backlights so the S2 will not work with it.
