My in-warranty Dell U2412M monitor is wide gamut, and I've set it for Adobe RGB. Yet when I calibrate the monitor with a Spyder 4 by DataColor, I can only get 79% of the RGB color gamut. How can I achieve 100%? The Spyder is properly set for Adobe RGB.

Carol, are you sure you have the U2414M? That's Dell's medium gamut variant of the monitor, covering about 75% of Adobe RGB. So I think that if that's the monitor you have, it's behaving as expected.

See this review on TFT central for details.

Dell's terminology here is unfortunately confusing, since previously the U2413 (with no M) was the wide-gamut variant, but now the new 2415 (still no M) is also only standard gamut (albeit with a respectable 99% coverage of sRGB, similar to the U2414M). It looks like Dell is now using the term PremierColor for its wide-gamut displays — see this list on their web site.
