BOE-Hydis sRGB (13N7194) monitor color profile?

[Troels]

Hello all,

Does anyone know what monitor profile should be used for the sRGB BOE-Hydis LCDs?

I'm having a hard time getting it to look right with the ordinary Flexview color profile found in http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62923

I see the TPFLEX.ICM was not modified after June 2005...

Does someone at Lenovo have an updated profile for this LCD?

Thanks!

Did you tried out how it looks with the TPLCD.icm or plain Windows sRGB IEC61966-2.1 ICC profiles instead? - However, the best way would be to generate your own individual/specific profile with the help of some good calibration/corimeter tool, which also supports notebook lcds.

i'm with vkyr - this display will have to be calibrated.   good luck!

I tried it out with the TPLEX profile, looks better than nothing, but is too red still.

The srgb profile does seem to be more off actually, a good deal more red. Yeah, i probably should try to invest in a screen calibrator (colorimeter?) - but i don't think it's far off the tflex profile. Are there any editors for these profiles available?

Thanks!

Just do an internet search for ICC profile editors/generators/viewers/tools etc. and you will find a bunch of them, commercial and freeware tools. - Look for example at the ICM profile hacker, at LittleCMS or the International Color Consortium, tools like the ICC Profile Inspector ...and so on. - Even Adobe Gamma might be useful in those situations, when you don't have any good colorimeter (GretagMacbeth Eye-One Display, Datacolor Spyder3, X-rite etc.) handy.
