Just let LCMS do it's job. I'm with you on your calibrating step. My monitor does not have many real settings either. I also normally reset to default and only set the brightness. But my monitor are far from linear, so I really need to load my calibration settings. Here is a screen shoot of my calibration. http://mulebakken.net/div/iccexamin-gamma.png I also thinks that the profile itself describes the monitor with base in the calibration. So the profile is not correct without the calibration part loaded. I'm happy for corrections. Regards Lars Tore Gustavsen
