For any of you who have the AU Optronics B156HAN08.0 (AUO80ED) 15.6" FHD 144Hz IPS Screen which is found on the Alienware m15 and other laptops , here is the Spyder5Elite calibrated Profile.
Download Dell AUO80ED.icm
Don't forget to unblock the file before using it otherwise it will have a BLOCKED status since this is a file you downloaded from the internet and Windows puts a BLOCKED status on any downloaded file which causes incomplete or erroneous installs. For how to do this, see:
"Are you sure you want to run this file?" [Yes or No]

Here are how the Spyder5Pro App set the options in Control Panel / Color Management (ignore the model displayed that's from my previous laptop's screen, the file should be Dell AUO80ED.icm in our case)

Now, click on the Change system defaults button on the bottom right of the Advanced tab.

Then head over to the Advanced tab again in the new Window that popped out and check the box at the bottom which says: " Use Windows display calibration" and you will see the changes in color immediately when you do that.

The difference between the stock profile vs the calibrated one is like night and day! The stock profile is very pale and a bit too bright this one is just perfect and a bit warmer. Colors so natural.

Is this the m15 144hz?

Could someone kindly repost this elsewhere? The link doesn't work for some reason.

Yes, thank you. Interesting, where did you obtain that profile? The colours are quite warm to a point where whites are getting reddish. It's fair to say that the default is a bit too cool though.

Also, it is worth noting that calibration corrections are display specific. So, a person can try the .ICC/.ICM file, but if it makes it worse, just remove it.
Also worth noting, because computer screens often calibrate more blue and to a higher color temp than 6500K/D65, at first, grays can have a green tint because it is what you are used to seeing. This normalizes in a couple days to week. -
hey @Spartan the link is not working anymore, can you please re-upload it? Thank you very much mate.

Once you start any full screen application or you run a game, it will be defaulted to panel settings.
