NP8130 Dual Color Profiles

Is there any way to set up dual color profiles (preferably using the NVidia control panel or other free software that allows adjustment of Gamma by color) so that one color profile is applied to the laptop display and another profile is applied to the device connected via HDMI? My laptop monitor and projector have drastically different color configurations and when the colors look good on one, they are bad on the other.
Also, I'd prefer not to change the settings on the projector since, I use my AV receiver as an HDMI switch and have all HDMI signals sent to the projector fed through the same input.

 

You can try using the color management tool thats included with Windows. You can have each monitor set up with a different color profile. If you colors are drastically differnt this could be why. Open up the start menu and in the search box enter "color management" In the new window that opens make sure both monitors have the same color profile. The standard is sRBG IEC61966-2.1 if your screens are set to diffrent color profiles then images especially .jpg will look different. Set all monitors to be the same an then they should look very similar.

 

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that using the windows color management will work. I may not have been clear in what I am trying to do - sorry about that.

I'm trying to actually clone the displays - when I launched color management and asked windows to identify the monitors, both were identified as the same monitor - 1|2. I'd like the ability to switch the color profiles depending on which display I'm using at the time. Also, windows doesn't let you adjust the color profiles when the displays are cloned.

I can get good results using the Windows tools or the Nvidia tools on one of the monitors, but never both.

 

I think I found something that is workable enough - I found the registry settings that control the color profile in the Nvidia app (HKCU\software\NVidia Corporation\Global\NVTweak\Devices\#########-#\Color)

So I just created 2 .reg files with the settings for each device in it. After merging, the driver needs to be refreshed - any of a reboot, kill/restart explorer.exe, modify 1 setting in NVidia control panel and revert to the original value will cause all of the changes to take effect.

We'll see how convenient it is, but its better than setting everything manually.

 

You're right i did not understand your questions right. You should still be able to assign different color profiles even when the screens are cloned. In the color management window click on "Use my settings for this device" then on the bottom left click on "add" then click on which color profile you want to use.

It sounds like you got it working like you want to though.
