My r4 has 1920x1080 display and I also run a 24 inch monitor at the same res.
Today I was playing around and decided to change my wallpaper. I found one that I liked and saved it as my background. When I sat back and looked at it I noticed a drastic difference between the two monitors. Laptop seemed blue and monitor seemed brown (the photo is black and white I think.)
I searched the forums and tried 2 different calibration tools along with win 7 calibration tool but couldn't get the monitors to match. I'm not sure which is displaying incorrectly though.I'm seeing spots as it is after 2 hours adjusting brightness.
I understand the r4 screen has a bluish tint, but I can't find a happy medium. Did anyone else calibrate there screen? If so, What are your numbers?
Here is the photo in question.

well I don't know exactly how your monitors line up, but here is two threads you can look at and possibly use the numbers that other people used and see if they make the screen look any better. Both are for the r3, but as I believe they use pretty much they same parts other than the video card and mobo you should be good to go. Hope this helps!
Found way to make display look GREAT!! (R3)

Yep, I also find the default color to be too blue (cool). This is the color profile that I found and am using. It makes the colors nice and warm:
