ASUS PG278Q Calibration Profile using Spyder5Pro

In case anyone is interested, I have a Spyder5Pro Color Calibrator so I calibrated my ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q Monitor. Here is the download link to the ICM Profile along with a few example images of before and after the calibration.

The Spyder5Pro software suggested me to turn down my screen brightness to 30% so you might wanna do that. Contrast was left at the default 50 but feel free to adjust the brightness / contrast to your liking. I'm just saying what the software actually recommended.

Those before and after images look identical, bro. You won't be able to convey the difference unless you get a really good camera and take photos of the screen pre- and post-calibration.

 

True I can't really see any difference, but when you actually do it on the monitor it's a very obvious difference, colors look more natural and the whole screen less straining to the eye after I've turned down the brightness to the suggested 30% it was always at the default 80% before.

 

You used screenshots, did you?

 

Yeah using FastStone Capture, didn't do the job well I guess.

 

It never will. How do you imagine we could see a difference viewing on our monitors with different panels/calibrations/colour gamuts/etc.?
To see a difference we either would have to look at your monitor directly (or use the same model, though it may have differences as well), or look at pictures taken with a camera, not screenshots (what octiceps said).
Image is just a piece of information you use to calibrate your monitor.
