Color calibration at maximum brightness

[SpyderDoom]

Hello and a happy new year!

I just got a Spyder4Pro. I read that colorimeters are less accurate at low brightness levels. Would it make sense to calibrate my monitor at full brightness and then turn down the backlight to the desired level? My thinking is that it will result in more accurate gamma curve. Does the gamma of a panel really depend on the backlight?

Thanks in advance!

Things are even less clear now! Thanks?

Nice! So I have to choose to embed the extra rendering intents, or else it will just use perceptual. Am I right?

For TRUE perceptual conversion we need perceptual profiles and capable color management.

So what is a good workflow to take advantage of this? Suppose I want to target sRGB or CMYK, getting the most color without clipping?

Never mind! I'll just accept the way my apps handle my profiles and call it a day. I'm actually spending more time calibrating and profiling than viewing photos and videos at the moment!

I do not know yet, did not have time to play with GIMP 2.9 and stuff.
