Color profile for XPS 1640/5/7 WLED monitors

seeker which graph in colorhcfr shows the linear reading you are talking about? i wanna see if my colormeter can get a near match to jerry eyeone otherwise i selling it and going to fine an eyeone off ebay.

 

wow i ran a ColorHCFR on jerry's profile and it's got a hihg level of blue in it

 

I'm talking about screens 3 and 4 (gamma and RGB levels). The gamma should be a flat line, but on both of your profiles this is not the case. On the RGB levels screen they should be flat lines (except at 0%). On your first profile, these lines were pretty crooked. On your second they're flat, which is an improvement, but your blue level is at about 120%, instead of having them all track at 100%. Look at the pictures in my first post for examples.

 

Do you guys know if this is the same screen used in the Studio 15 series?

It's possible, though it's more likely that the Studio 15 uses a cheaper screen. If you have a Studio 15, go to the control panel, device manager, monitors, generic PnP monitor, properties, details tab, hardware ID on the pull down panel. That will give you a model number for the panel. Compare it to the panels listed in this thread.

If you don't have one, you could try to go to the Studio board and ask someone there if they could do this for you.

 

my studio 15 uses an AUO10ED (not 11) WLED, my brother's studio 15 uses an LG panel: LGD020B.

the AUO11.. color profiles in this thread look verry yellow-ish on my screen.

 

hmmm it's not working for me. i followed everything till "add" the file i downloaded. but nothing register, it doesn't show up in the box and it's as if nothing happened. maybe it's cuz i have the 945p monitor

 

Naw, the profile should work for any monitor, even if it's not correct. However, some people have been having trouble getting it to work, not just you. It's not monitor related, just some kind of software fluke. Try reading through the first 10 pages or so. For some as yet unknown reason, some ways work on some laptops, others not...

 

OP's way worked for my 1647, shipped about 1wk ago

Made my colors look warmer than stock.

 

i got it to work now thank you!!

it's a bit less bright than default.

 

Yeah, blue is really overdriven by default, so it should look a bit warmer/dimmer, but it's much more accurate.

 

i do find your yellow half smile more yellow, which is more accurate thanks

 

Just got a screen replacement for my Studio XPS 1640. For the screen I got a LGD0215. I was wondering if the LGD0214 profile would work?

Also, I had an AUO11ED before and was wondering if anyone had a comparison between that and the LGD0215?

 

same here ...

**edit - i also have a lgd0215 wondering if the 0214 profile works

 

Loaded the LGD0214 icc profile and the yellow is better but all of my white and "lighter" colors have a vintage yellow with a touch of gray tinge to it. Guess i'll stick with the standard sRGB profile :/

 

I can't download the LG profile =(

 

I just double checked, and the LG profile download link still works, at least for me. What exact problem are you having?

 

don't suppose you have one for LG0215?

 

Nope, sorry. The one for the 0214 should be very close. The only difference between the *4 and *5 is that the *5 is 1080p. If you've never seen a calibrated monitor before, it will look a bit yellow tinged at first. Nearly all computer displays and TVs come with way too much blue. Lowering that blue to normal levels will make things look yellowish, but in reality you're just very used to seeing a display where everything is blue tinged.

 

that could very well be, I tried leaving it on for a day just to try it out, I just couldn't adjust. I suppose i'm just brainwashed now

 

No problem, I've met a lot of people who don't like the 'calibrated' look. If you don't need a calibrated display (like someone who does photo editing / printing for a living, or a tech 'perfectionist' like myself ), it's all about the display looking the way you like it. If you like it the way it is, than there is nothing wrong with that.

 

Ah, figured it out. Turns out Google Chrome was the problem. Anyways, trying it out now and it does look a tad darker than the AUO profile but gonna keep trying it out for a few days. Thanks a lot =D

 

The first post isnt showing the .reg files and calibration software attachments anymore..?

 

Most people were able to work it out without the .reg files, so I removed them for simplicity, and for those who couldn't the files didn't fix it either. I don't know what the issue is, the profile should work by itself. I dual boot with Linux, and the Gnome color manager takes the profile by itself and works just fine, every time. But with windows, it works for some and not others. Personally, I can't get it to work without the calibration loader either. Try reading through the first few pages and read the others suggestions. If you still can't get it to work, I'll repost the calibration loader.

 

hi all,

my 1645 has troubles maintaining the profiles with the proper colour profiles.

i'm using the profile for the LG WLED panel (provided by seeker_moc) and then the profile that Windows 7 downloaded in the Windows Updates (Dell S2209W). both of these profiles work wonderfully on the correct panel.

however, there are times when i switch from Extended Desktop mode to just using the external monitor (both and home and at work - i use the same LCD monitors at home and work). when i make this switch, my colour profile always switches to the LG WLED colour profile instead of sticking to the Dell S2209W colour profile. when this happens i have to open up the Colour Management window and change the colour profile in use.

I already have the proper colour profiles set as profile defaults for each panel. is there a way to "permanently" enforce these defaults so the proper profile is loaded when desktop compositions are changed from extended to single (and back to extended)?

i hope i explained my issue properly.

thanks

 

ok, so i have tried everything and i cant seem to get this to work at all. I tried all profiles provided by seeker_moc, but nothing is happening.
I've read through all the pages but nothing is working.
( i have the LG monitor)

 

Try following this link here: Laszlo Pusztai Photography - Stop Losing Display Calibration with Windows 7

 

Just switched to the new profile for the AUO display (ie, the one that matches the screen I have). Wow, it does seem a lot warmer/browner, but I'll give it a day or two to see what my brain thinks of it. Definitely willing to give it a shot, for while I am not a graphic artist or professional photographer, I do enjoy taking good photos as well as just having "true" colours on my screen

 

After looking at a calibrated screen for a few months, then you'll look at all other screens and think "Wow, it does seem very blue", lol.

 

Whites definitely do seem whiter and less blue, which I like, and looking at photos I would also say the colours are truer. Ofcourse colours that we see are all a product of our eyes and brains, so it is different for everyone... but still, I'm always up for trying something new

 

seeker,

thanks for the link, but i already tried doing this. unfortunately, the profiles do NOT work when swapping between panels and display methods (external only, extended display, laptop only).

basically, i set the display defaults (WLED panel = LG ICC profile you created, external LCD = ICM profile Windows Update downloaded), and when i switch to a different display method, such as from extended desktop to just external monitor, the display profiles get jumbled -in this example of extended display -> external only, the LG profile is used and so my external monitor looks very yellow/orange.

is there a better way to force colour profiles on specific displays?

 

Is there any easy way to check if your screen is displaying things as they were intended to be displayed?

 

Thank you very much for all the profiles posted, I have tried all of them and all are much better than the stock colors. Thanks again, nice work!

 

No problem, glad they work for you!

What do you mean exactly? If you're talking about color balance then you need a colorimeter.

 

When I plug my laptop into my TV, it also maintains my laptop display profile, even though I have a profile special made for my TV as well. To get the correct profile to load, I have to run the calibration loader program, then the correct profile takes effect. Try this one out, but I can't promise you it will work: CalibrationLoader.exe

 

I apologize if this has been answered but does the color profile work with the XPS 15 (L501x/L502x) 1080P LCD?

If so which one is the preferred one for the XPS 15 (LG or AUO Profile)?

 

Every screen is different, and seeing how the XPS15 1080p screen has a different backlight, I'd say it's way different. You're probably better off leaving it as it is, then trying to use a profile made for a much different screen.

If you're really interested in calibrating your screen, take a look at this: Amazon.com: X-Rite Eye-One Display LT: Camera & Photo

It's what I used to create these, and it's really not that expensive.

 

Hi, first time poster-my Dell Studio XPS 1645 that I use for photography was driving me crazy; the colors were so untrue that nothing I sent to print looked like what I was seeing on my monitor. Able to get seeker_moc's LG profile loaded and it improved dramatically and then used JerryK's 9-15-2010 profile and it even cleaned up nicer. Hard initially getting used to different appearance (more subdued) on websites, etc but colors are now much closer when going from photoshop to printing, etc. Thanks to all and especially to those two posters for all the help in this forum.

 

I used your profile today for my LGD0215. Looks much better. Thank you!

 

i own a motorokr e6(320x240 TFT 262K Color) & i found it's display brownish.. i.e. whites apperred brown..
then switched to your color profile on my sxps (LG display), used it for few days (i find it better than stock) & now my mobile display also looks great ! motorola did a nice job !
looks like i was also one of those brainwashed guys...
thanks seeker_moc..

 

Hi!
I have the XPS 1645 RGBLED wide gamut screen. Is there a thread with color advice such as this thread (for the WLED screen)?

Thank you!
Michael

 

Wow.. Thanks so much seeker for your color profile!

I used the LGD0214 one (i have a LGD0215 which is 1080p variant)..

First thing i noticed was that everything turned very... yellowish lol...

Took me a while to get used to the stark "contrast" from the usual over bluish tint i got used in the 2 odd years of using this laptop lol..

Sorry to ressurect this old thread.. but i had to say thanks!

 

Wow, what a change.. I just love the new colours.. Thanks a lot, seeker_moc! Really appreciate all your hard work!

 

Thank you for the profiles, currently using the profile provided by jerry. The colors do seem much better calibrated now

 

Hi there. just got myself a used Dell 15z. the screen i have go through a spyder4 calibration. everything looks okay for me however only the red color is too saturatein ... i wanted to ask is that any ICC profile in this thread can be use with my Dell 15z ? thanks a lot !

 

the model is L511z...
