dipstick or display

Good morning,
There is a discrepency of about half a quart of oil between the dipstick and the electronic display on the dash. The display says I'm a little low when the dipstick says just right. I personally go by the dipstick, my mechanic agrees, the dealer told me I should go by the electronic display. Anyone else have this issue and what are your thoughts? Sorry if this was discussed before, I did a search for oil level and didn't see any related topics. Also, I should note that the mechanic says that the dipstick corresponds to the physical amount of oil he puts in during an oil change.
Ken
