Calibrate PB278Q

[EnSortSau]

Just bought the PB278Q and am struggling with the colors because i can't find the settings that fits me. Any tips on how i should calibrate it? and if you have the same monitor maybe share your settings

I just used the user mode settings and left it, I only game so calibration isn't that important to me. I did however find TFT central ICC profiles and monitor settings database with their adjustments for the monitor but of course every monitor is different and so their adjustments aren't perfect.

Here is a quick and dirty guide by Lifehacker on how to calibrate your new monitor: http://lifehacker.com/5882632/how-do-i-calibrate-my-computers-monitor-for-the-best-picture

 

 

 

 

1. First, you'll need some test patterns. You can find some great ones at the Lagom LCD monitor test pages, or you can walk through the steps at DisplayCalibration.com to get started.
2. Open the test patterns on both displays. Open two browser windows to the same patterns, or open two image viewers with the same pattens in both. Maximize them on both displays and take a look at the differences.
3. Make subtle changes on the second display to try and match the first. The steps you'll follow here are very similar to how you calibrate your HDTV. You'll need to adjust the contrast and brightness against black and white gradient patterns, and you'll need to adjust the color levels (red-green-blue) against some color test patterns. Since you calibrated your OS against the first display, that monitor should look the way you like. The goal now is to make the second one look just like the first one. You may need to make some subtle changes to the primary display, but don't go overboard—the first display is supposed to be your control, and if you adjust it too much you won't have a point of reference.
4. When you finish, bring up a photo on both displays. Make sure your test photo looks the same on both displays. If you can, set both displays to the same wallpaper and examine them that way. You're just using your eyes, but it's a good way to make sure that your colors and contrast look the same. If you see something off, open up the on-panel display controls and tweak them.

One thing you do need to do, is to lower the brightness. I run my brightness at 20 and it's still bright, but more comfortable. It will also increase the lifespan of the monitor.
