update : new profile for AUO panel, see post #7 my Personal m17x R3 - Perfect Screen Calibration : LG Philips LP173WF1 (72% color gamut) .. i love the vivid rich color of the m17x R2 (sometime giving too much eye strain), and 8bits high accuracy color of the m17x R1 (but the screen is too dark compare to R2 and R3) it's too complicated to swap to the V4 AUO or B+RG, i have no idea how to remove the glossy glass and put it back in. After 4 month trying to make my screen look better, i finally satisfied with my m17x r3 screen the way it is now (can't help with the view angle anyway, worst feature from this panel) Normally we just trying to adjust the color / gamma / color temperature .. so the image will look more vivid .. but actually still missing alot of warm compare to R2 and losing too many detail. When calibrating you may notice how the color changed and how much detail you killed, sometime after a recalibrate you may thinking Oh wow i didn't saw this detail before... something like that. Take a look at these images and try remember the pointed area.. so you can compare before and after the calibration. Can you see the detail i pointed in this pic ? See the smoke trail ? the detail inside, if the saturation is too high you cant see anything here. Look careful at the tip of the meteror! The cherry flower If the contrast is too high, it's very hard to spot out the different in the white area. This picture had more red than you was thinking, the dark area near her hand .. the detail on her face. how far can you see the smoke in this pic ? notice the dog's fur and the flower field ! see the different ? cute dog eh ? now download the ICC profile in the attachment, right click and install it go to Color management > advanced > change system default > advanced > device profile > choose : monitor_01.02.2011_1 important step : before leaving tick the box "use windows display calibration" and click reload current calibrations. (to access color management : right click on ur desktop > screen resolution > advanced setting > color management) Your screen may look a bit yellowish now, it's okay just go to catalyst control panel > my built-in-display change the Hue from -2 or lower ! depend on your color taste change the saturation into 112 or higher/lower until you meet your best. you can change the contrast to your liking but i recommend leave it at 100 Video settings : set video gamma to 1.05, Brighter whites, Full Dynamic range 0-255, disable Dynamic contrast ! leave everything else at default. Did you see the improvement in your screen ? open your picture library and have a look .. Fixing color profiles override each other : important step After boot up/reset your OS the color profile switch back to default catalyst profile, or When you use switch graphic with HD3000, or when you launched a game, the color profile automatic changes again your will. to fix this, it's really simple. Download this software called : Monitor Calibration Wizard 1.0 (It's free ) install it and make sure you have the best color calibrated at this moment. (don't click "run this wizard") (some1 mistaken about what i'm trying to do here, see the screenshot, don't use the calibration of this software or it will override your iCC settings so everything u did till now is pointless) open it ! and tick : *load at windows startup , *Persistent profile That's it youre done. don't try to save into profile. minimize it into tray bar. it won't take much resource CPU or memory, don't worry. no matter what happen your color profile will stay the same. any suggestions with even better color profile all welcome and appreciated. (the ICC profile was taken from notebookcheck) Enjoy, and sry for my bad english. ^^ ICC profiles.zip
