Colour correcting the M17x-R1 screen

I was comparing my Left4Dead screen with a person playing on a desktop, side-by-side and it looks like my screen is always more blue. Example, in the finale chapter (5) of Blood Harvest, the environment is generally blue-ish on my screen, but on the desktop, is more normal looking. Same goes for the beginning of the tunnel in Death Toll, chapter 1.

Anyone done a colour check or know what settings should be used in nvidia control panel to correct the screen colours? In the meanwhile, I'm going to try manually doing it using examples from http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html

Is it possible that some CCFLs display differently than others when comparing the same laptop model? M17x-R1, config below.

Note: I'm not trying to Mac-ify my screen so that 'prints' look the same as the image on the screen - I'm trying to get the colours to be shown correctly, if they are wrong now. (yes, I type it as colour, not color.)

I assume you mean the colour temperature, I don't believe you can change it on these screens but you may be able to compensate in the NVIDIA control panel by lowering the blue level slightly until you get the desired effect.

 

I've tried that, but then many other colour inaccuracies pop up. Coz at different brighnesses of each colour, the compensation is different. And the screen auto-bright/dim thing is not getting any less annoying.

I need one of those ICC profiles that can be generated using a calibration tool like Spyder 3...though not looking to buy it since it's a one-off use and I'm not a photographer.

Right now, I've put:
Digital Vibrance at 40%
Blue brigtness at 40%
Red brightness at 45%

I did some searching for seiko laptop displays but nothing related to this.

Are there no gamer-photographers using the M17x? (I avoided a Mac joke)
