I made a color profile for the g73 Hannstar display

I know there almost isn't any use to share profiles because even the same display differs so much, but since the built in profiles are so bad maybe someone can use this one.

Calibrated to D6500 with a Gamma of 2.2.
Made to use with 67% brightness it gives you a cd/m2 of 105

I find this brightness ok in normal light but have left some control if one are in the daylight (up it 68-100)

Know that if you are not used to D6500 it will look yellow, but I urge you to get used to D6500 in one way or the other since this is the movie standard (and I would suspect games too)

 

If you have problems enabling it (doesn't look like something is happening)

First you need to uninstall splendid and reboot.

Second, this might help:
1. ASSOCIATE YOUR PROFILES WITH A DISPLAY AND SET AS DEFAULT

To apply an existing ICC profile (an ICM file created by some calibration process), do the following -

Control Panel / Display / Change Display Settings / Advanced Settings / Color Management / Color Management (again!) / Devices / select one of your displays*1 / click "use my settings for this device"*2/ if necessary add the applicable profile to the "Profiles associated with this device" box using the "Add" button (if your profile is not already listed but is available somewhere on the network or computer) / click on the correct profile in that box and click "Set as Default Profile".

*1 the CM dialog boxes don't label your displays the same way as other dialog boxes, they seem to lose the manufacturer and model number info that is available elsewhere, so your ABC model nn display comes up as Display: 1. Generic PnP monitor . Also note that at least on my system, display '1' was in fact display '2' in other display settings dialog boxes, and vice versa.

*2 You would think that selecting "Use my settings for this device" would mean the Windows would use your settings for that device (display), but apparently it doesn't. It means ... well, I don't know what it means. Perhaps it means if you don't select it, even the next step (below) won't help you.

Good work so far - tortuous and unnecessarily complex - but has a certain logic. Unfortunately it doesn't achieve anything at all, until you work out the secret key. Although it seems the above should do what you want, you have to do something which is entirely unobvious, and not mentioned at all in any of the help general discussion, and apparently not known by any of the 67 people who read my question. It is actually listed in the MS help section... at the very bottom of "Understanding color management settings" and after a mass of largely incomprehensible stuff which doesn't appear to be relevant, there is a link which is not listed in the contents at the top and almost impossible to notice...
