Cal with SuperCal
Took me half an hour to calibrate at 70% brightness.
Much better than the greenish default LCD profile
BTW, it's LG Matted. Looked a little too blue at first b/c being used to green color. It looks perfect now.

just the regular calibration tool that comes with every mac. i'm not fully happy with it, though. i'll keep trying to find a profile i like. i have a matte samsung, btw.
I got this some where in the macrumors forums but can't remember where but it worked for me. I have a 15.4" lg matte.
I was having horrible problems with colors... it seems like my Sony LCD was giving me a better range of colors while my mac was darker (so faint greys and such were really hard to spot). Even photoshop, for example, doesn't show reds as real reds until I export them as an image.
I used one of your color profiles, and it worked pretty well.
Feels like my screen is brighter and has less contrast (also seems a bit more blue), but then again i have been using my mac on the standard setting since i got it which has always been really dark.
I wish there was a good way to calibrate it good for my system without having to buy a spyder.
Where did you guys get the info on what kind of screen you have? I can't seem to find what brand I have anywhere in the system info.

I somehow don't think that's quite the idea.
I reckon camera shops or somewhere should do a "rent-a-hardware-profiling-device-for-a-day-for-not-very-much-money" thing and rake in some profit. Most of us could quite happily calibrate only every month or two and don't want to fork out on a hardware calibration tool.
This one is BADASS, and looks the best by FAR to any I have seen. VERY VERY nice.
I know that panels will differ from one MacBook to another, but I don't want to front the cash for a hardware calibtration tool, so I'd really like to try these out. Could someone please tell me how I would go about finding which Panel my SR MBP uses? Any help on this is greatly appreciated
I just tried this profile on my week 30 matte Samsung and it looks perfect. Thank you very much!
Yes there has to be more order in this thread if it is to be effective for a long time.
Please can future posters put something in a format of say:
Type : Glossy/Matte
Make: Samsung/LG
Notes: ??
Or if people who have already posted their profiles could edit their posts?
Please, it would be MUCH more helpful to the community. As it is I cannot see if any of those profiles offered up is suitable for my Samsung (groan) Glossy.

I have the LG screen as well and I do believe this is the very best so far. Everyone should try it.
So far this one works the best for me. It is a WORLD of difference over the default. The colors are so much richer.
THANX!
WOW! I've tried all the color profiles in here now, and this one beats them all hands down for my samsung screen. It doesn't suffer from the blueish color tint that the others have. Kind of like the original profile only slightly corrected to remove some of the yellow tint.
Thanks!
This one is really nice on the LG Matte. Colors are very saturated and contrast is really nice.
Even though my MBP isn't coming until next week, one of the first things I want to do is try some of these color profiles. Will I need to backup my original profile and if so how would I do that?
Oh my, I have an LG Matte as well, and either I'm used to really off colors or that looked pink (yes pink) to me.
I actually don't mind the original settings, I have tried a bunch of different profiles from this thread, and I keep going back to the original one.
Step one, I think, is to investigate the windows Color Control applet. It is a extra settings pane in Control Panel, released as a Powertoy to supplement the OS's lackluster color capacities.

I think, but have not tried it, that it will then support the ICC color profiles people have been posting here.
Of course, if you have Photoshop (at least the old version I have), there is an Adobe Gamma pane that works well enough for my purposes as well.
Hope that helps.
