No one panel is the same. In particular, if the profile isn't displayed above the dividing line, it was not created for your specific 'model.' You can find out your model by opening the default Color LCD profile in ColorSync and scrolling down to mmod. For example, a model hex of 00009CDF means finding profiles for 9CDF. Obviously, a profile created for your display model doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be appropriate for your panel.
Since starting this thread i have tried each profile posted and still find some have a yellow/sepia cast to them.
Our screens could differ but here is my profile which was created under 50% brightness.

All things were altered, contrast, luminosity and colour temperature. It should give accurate contrast and colour which is very important for my digital photography and it removes the yellow cast.
Some profiles posted are boosting contrast and colour more than natural, this should give a neutral response when the screen is roughly at 50% brightness.
Also, there is variation within the same screen model. Manufacturers have built in tolerance. So calibration for one person may not be absolutely perfect for another person. That being said, I found one on this thread that is great for my 11.6" LG screen. Thanks Kafka for your hard work! Great eye!!

Does this look Blue-ish to anyone else? It's above the line in display options so it does appear OSX says it's made for this panel.
it does...but i'm used to it now.
Ya, so am I after looking at it for a few minutes. However, is it supposed too? I'm not sure what colors should look what ways now. For example, open up a window with the CustomMacRumors.icc file posted a little higher in this thread and then compare it to this profile. This profile shows windows that are blue where others show the same window grey. What color should it be?
The white point in the default profile is way off. The one i posted aims to identify this problem and all shades of grey should be accurate too. Skin tones should appear correct too.
What you say about the white point, could that be a reason for what I'm talking about in this thread? Please see it when you get a chance. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1203090/
Thanks. Without another computer/screen to compare, how would you use this chart to make sure colors look accurate?
Do you have a good color printer? You could print out the chart. You can also find free hard copies at paint stores and art supply stores.

I am new to mac and have no idea how to add a profile to calibrate the LG screen. I want to use this: MBA139CDF.icc. Can somebody please tell me how to do this in the simplest way possible? Thank you for your help =)
Anandtech updated his Air review... LG panel has the best contrast
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4554/a...-review-update
Yes the farthest 2 blocks on the red and green channels are clipping
Although the colour reproduction and contrast is vastly improved with the custom calibration.
Do Samsung screens hold the definition in the red and green channels?
