Using an ICC profile on linux
I had to find a way to use monitor ICC profiles on my linux box.
After a bit of researching I found that there is a nice application called ‘dispwin’ which is included in argyll package
sudo apt-get install argyll
dispwin /path/to/the/profile.icc
Easy.
In the same way you can write a bash script if you want to execute it on startup. I added the command to the end of /etc/mdm/Init/Default for Linux Mint 17
UPDATE: for Ubuntu MATE I added the command to /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session
Calibrated color profiles for W230SS
These ICC profiles are created with Spyder4Elite
It will help you get rid of the overall yellow tint of the original Chi Mei LCD panel and give much more natural colors
Following photos are for comparision, on the left is my W230SS and on the right is my Lenovo workstation Calibrated with Pantone colorimeter
All pictures are taken with static White Balance adjusted to match the Lenovo for accurate comparison.
W230SS looks kinda darker but thats because of the brightness settings so it does not matter, I just forgot to increase brightness…

Easily switching between ICC profiles
Having bought a new color calibration tool for my computers, I wanted to publish new calibration data for other people.
My Spider4Elite comes with a neat set of software to switch between profiles easily, but what about others who don’t have a Spyder to use?
I looked up on Google and came up with a nice little tool.
It is called ‘Display Profile’ and is developed by pcmonitors.info
No installation required, straight forward setting.
First, install a color profile using Windows Explorer
Unextract the zip and select the profile of your choice.
Voilà, everything is done.
