Macbook Air 2012 - LG vs Samsung LCD

Check this out. The computer on the right is the LG. The computer on the left is the Samsung. This is taken when viewing from below the screen. What's up with the extreme pink on the LG screen? When viewed directly, there's no hint of it. When viewed from above, there's no hint of it. But there's a huge difference when viewed from below.
I suppose that it doesn't matter, because I'm never going to be viewing it from below. But it's weird, right? Anyone else with an LG screen that can verify this?

It's the calibration file... Change to another one and you will see that it's not pink.
Good call! That's exactly what it was. I changed it back to the stock, and it was bluish, instead of pinkish. I wonder why the Samsung monitor shows no color tint. So am I correct in saying that this is NOT a defective panel?
The zip file contains executable file. Could you please let me know, how can I use this file as color profile? Am I missing something?
just drop them in the usual colorsync folder and they will appear in the display profile settings.
Can you check yours out from below, and let me know if it is pinkish like in the picture I posted on Sunday?

Here are some comparison photos of my 2012 LG MBA and the 2012 Samsung MBA on display at the local Apple Store

My LG is so washed out, hurts my eyes, and the custom profiles are a crutch in comparison to the beautiful Samsung display

The mods should commit a mercy killing and close this thread. Now we have people posting links to pictures they took, that people will be viewing on their LG|Samsung|whatever LCD screen as if that's some kind of proof Samsung is better. CLUE: The pictures can't look any better than the screen the viewer has. What are the odds that the same people who see a dramatic difference between a Samsung and an LG LCD also believe their Macs are 'snappier' after a clean install?
I find and people are also reporting the standard ICC profile which comes with Mountain Lion a lot better with the LG display. It think the OS is now smart enough to activate an ICC profile based on which screen panel it recognizes.
It's on, you just need a few beers to really see it clearly

That would be really great... but Apple is already replacing this one

Actually, you can see the difference in contrast from any monitor
Versus means competition, which one is better, samsung or LG... Not which one you have, otherwise, it would be a POLL, should being answered in that specific field!
A few other people have put this information into the thread also. If you don't like it, you could always ignore it. Rather than shooting your mouth off for no reason other than to be a confrontational d-bag, of sorts.
just like almost all other profiles i have tried, this is very blue on my screen.
