Color profiles are used by professional creatives who need to ensure color matches precisely. They set the same color profile for printing and displaying on the screen. Precise color matching is important when dealing with corporate color schemes and logo colors or to ensure what you print matches what you see on the screen.


For normal users you can just select the one listed for your monitor. In this case DELL U4021QW.
