I use the LG 5K with my 2017 iMac and I am very happy with the sharpness and quality. But I find the extreme light grey turns to light green and I would like to improve this. Has anyone the same issue ? If one user has a good calibrated ICC profile for the LG 5K, can he share it here ? Thanks. I know I will have to use a calibrator one day...

The issue with sharing the ICC profiles is that in theory by default these panels should have a native or custom white point off the line and it should be burned in and correct in the monitor. The issue is they are not. I have a repaired panel and let me tell you the service center missed that step. The unit came in almost fish bowl green. I plan to let LG know about this on Monday. I was able to rent a ICC profiler and put it back to where white was not green yellow tint and more cool blue which is my preference. I also have a straight D65 profile and the rest of the D family 55 and 50 just for good measure. This is a real shame LG could not be bothered to spend a few extra minutes as these come off the line and calibrate them to white. Dell some how manages this feat on all the precision units and tosses in a results of the curve. This is not something that can not be done. For the brand ultra fine under LG they should have taken an extra step
