Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of DisplayCAL 3.8.1.0.

What's new in this version:

Added in this release:
- Feature Linux: Preliminary experimental Wayland support under GNOME 3 using colord (requires ArgyllCMS 2.1 or newer as well). Caveats do apply:
- Window placement and ordering is completely up to the compositor under Wayland. There is generally no way for an application to place its own windows at specific relative locations or z-orders. As a result of this, the measurement window cannot stay always on top or be automatically centered. Extra care needs to be taken that other windows are not placed on top.
- Video card gamma table (videoLUT) access is handled by colord. Some functions like viewing current videoLUT contents may not be available.
- The measurement window color depth is limited to 8 bits per channel per pixel (but dithering is used to achieve a higher effective color depth).
- The measurement window may be subject to desktop-wide color management in upcoming versions of Wayland (although the display device is inhibited during measurements via the org.freedesktop.ColorManager.Device D-Bus API which should prevent this, and as a fallback a linear calibration sRGB profile is temporarily installed during measurements if the D-BUs API is unavailable, which should result in an identity transform, i.e. effectively no color management, as well as linear video card gamma tables).
- Application support for color management under Wayland via colord still seems to lacking (although the list may well be out-of-date).
- Only tested under GNOME 3 (Fedora 30, Ubuntu 19.04). Support for other desktop environments will need to be implemented separately until Wayland gains a color management and calibration/profiling protocol.
- Feature LG OLED 3D LUT format

Changed in this release:
- Enhancement If the currently used ArgyllCMS version is not a standard version, but also not a beta, do not offer to switch to an installed official stable version if it's otherwise the same version number.
- Enhancement Include Quantum Dot LED (Samsung QLED Q9F) spectral sample colorimeter correction when importing for i1 Display Pro and ColorMunki Display (sourced from community colorimeter corrections database).
- UI Linux (Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu): Use wxPython Phoenix if installed.
- Prisma, Resolve: Set pattern generator background color to pattern color if using fullscreen patterns.-

Fixed in this release:
- Moderate UnicodeDecodeError when a CCSS file contains unicode characters in the display device description (regression of a change in DisplayCAL 3.8 to use localized technology descriptions, SVN revision r5810).
- Minor APL calculation for Prisma and Resolve pattern generators was off by a few percent depending on pattern area and current pattern color.
- Minor Quick reporting on calibrated or uncalibrated display did not try to detect output levels if set to “Auto”.
- Trivial More gracefully deal with faulty tags in ICC profiles (fixes ICC profile information unhandled exception for colord-created profiles with malformed targ tags).
- Trivial UI Correctly update the audio button state on progress dialogs when changed on a previous window.
- Cosmetic UI Various minor potential rendering glitches.
- Cosmetic UI macOS (standalone application bundle): Splash screen did not animate.
- Cosmetic UI Linux: Add work-arounds for various Wayland-related wxPython rendering quirks and bugs (e.g. spacing around windows, popup menu placement).
- Trivial Linux: Try to work around sporadic colord profile installation quirks (“The profile was not added in time”).
