I was just profiling it so that it would look closer to the other screen as they're side by side.

(If you're editing very narrow gamut > images, then go for a LUT profile, but otherwise, why bother?) How do you pick the 6000K though? The laptop has no adjustments. And the matrix profile resulted in horrible brown blacks when I did it before. What would I do differently so it doesn't happen? > At least calibrating stopped all grays from looking blue on my monitor. That's pretty much the point really. Pedro
