    After seeing people post calibration profiles for previous laptops I have owned, I was wondering if someone could share a calibration profile for the 1080p screen? It appears a bit warm and I don't have any professional software. Thanks.

    Interested in this too... Perhaps some have done it and can post which panel they have and the month/year built...

    Looking for gysnc or just the standard 1080p screen. I have the gysnc panel, which I calibrated with a spyder pro5.

    I have the standard, but I can try the one for the gsync panel.

    They are not the same panel; a calibration for one would be useless for the other. Different color gamut, accuracy, brightness, etc... Could actually make your panel worse.

    Even if they were the same panel, a color calibration is best done individually, as each panel will be slightly different. But trying same panel calibration files can't hurt.

    I agree with you. Just wanted to see if it might improve. I know it's a slim chance lol.

    Agreed...the TN panel calibration would do nothing for the IPS panel.

    Oh yeah. I completely forgot that the gsync panel on the Alienware machines is a tn. Whoops. I was thinking of a manufacturer that uses ips gsync panels.

    May I ask you to please share the calibration? I'm expecting my shipment (with gsync panel) to be in a few weeks.

    All repaste inquiry sent to Team LHz @Mobius 1 will receive a free display calibration for your specific panel.


    Calibration is done on a per-machine basis and does not reuse files from other panels (this will make your colors worse, even if you use file from the same panel).
