In short, when calibrating monitors make sure they are using their native gamut if possible and that is all you really need to do.

A screen has its own colourspace and it is sub optimal to force it to try and emulate a different one. You shouldn't calibrate any screen to a colourspace. Images will look correct whatever mode you use as long as you are using colour managed software. Why bother using different modes on the monitor? I wouldn't as it just adds hassle.

Profiling your monitor will set that profile in Windows and any colour managed software will use it with no issues. LR uses whatever monitor profile is set in Windows. sRGB and AdobeRGB are device independent colourspaces used for images. If you switch modes you will need to make sure Windows is using the profile for that mode. You need a different monitor profile for every monitor colour mode you use. This is rather bizarre topic for me, so any comments are welcome. Or should I generate two color space specific calibrations (sRGB & AdobeRGB) for two slots in the monitor with corresponding icc files and switch them in sync? Knowing that PME has a hard time calibrating the monitor to a fixed color space? Should I then use that profile the same way as the default profile that came with the monitor which means launching LR and cross fingers? Doing that, I fill one custom slot in the monitor and generate one ICC file, of course without color space information like sRGB or AdobeRGB. I read and heard, that one should calibrate to the panelвЂ™s native color gamut.

Recalibrating the monitor, I use the supplied PME software and a SpyderX.

Or should I download the official sRGB and AdobeRGB profiles and switch to those, switch the monitor to the same colorspace and then start LR? But should I then use that SW270 profile for all color modes? How would Lightroom know witch colorspace I am in, or will the monitor somehow magically convert everything? I can switch the monitor between sRGB and AdobeRGB.

Installing a brand new SW270C with Win10, I download drivers, install those and receive one ICC profile that is named SW270C but contains no further specification about its colorspace. This is probably thread number X about this subject, and I read the others, but still do not understand how this works.
