    (I am not good at making guides, but it is sufficient enough)
    I have calibrated Asus N43SN screen that is improving the screen using a Calibrated Color ICC Profile, you can load the ICC Profile using ArgyllCMS and DispcalGUI... they are freeware, and ICC Profile is created by the apps... :D
    I have Calibrated the screen using the following standards of HDTV preference.
    Used hardware to calibrate: DTP-94 (one still good calibrator)...
    you have to deactivate the igfxpers.exe (Intel's app, that will reset the Look Up Tables of colors, when entering a game or what so ever, will reset the color to non-calibrated screen...)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Click on Start and type in "msconfig" in the search box. Select "msconfig" from the list of programs that is returned.
    Select the Startup tab.
    Expand the "Command" column by clicking and dragging on the bar between Command and Location columns in this table.
    Look for and uncheck the box beside the "Intel(R) Common User Interface" entry that has a command of "c:\windows\system32\igfxpers.exe".
    Click on OK to save your changes, and when prompted, restart your machine. (This will ensure that the process is no longer in memory)

    Steps 9-13 above to disable the igfxpers.exe process will need to be repeated any time you update the Intel 3000 HD Graphics drivers.

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    You are going to use the programs "ArgyllCMS" (command-line apps, the core), "DispcalGUI" the GUI for ArgyllCMS...
    You have to download the apps at:
    Argyll Color Management System Home Page the core (choose the system, like Win32 for Windows, and download the zip)
    dispcalGUI?Open Source Display Calibration and Characterization powered by Argyll CMS the GUI (press Get Discal GUI and proceed to download)
    Download the attached file (Screen Calibrated ICC Profile, zipped, extract it in root C drive, to ensure to relocate it easily, be sure to extract it in root C drive)
    and after you have downloaded the apps, extract the ArgyllCMS to root C Drive so it is in C:\Argyll_V1.x.x, then install DispcalGUI... After installed 'em, then start Dispcal GUI from the start menu --> all programs --> dispcalGUI --> dispcalGUI
    when starting DispcalGUI for first time, the DispcalGUI will ask for the directory of ArgyllCMS executables, in this guide, it is in C:\Argyll_V1.x.x\"bin" (there where you extracted them and select the subdirectory "bin"), select the folder, click "OK"... after that, then we can load the ICC Profile...
    The extracted ICC profile should be somewhere in root c drive... named "Generic 2012-01-09 195cdm² 0.3116x 0.3273y min neutral Rec. 709 HQ XYZLUT+MTX.icm" you can load it in menu in DispcalGUI "file --> load settings", doubleclick "Generic 2012-01-09 195cdm² 0.3116x 0.3273y min neutral Rec. 709 HQ XYZLUT+MTX.icm" and choose install it systemwide (for all users) or current user only...

    Then you are all good to go with Hardware Calibrated Screen (I used DTP94 in this case, only for the Asus N43SN)

    Hope you like the Calibrated Screen :D
