what color profile should be in the system color management

[menashe_soffer]

hello

 

trying to start with color management from zero

 

i have re-installed the monitor driver.

i am using windows XP.

 

now under control panel --> display --> settings --> advanced --> color management, in the "color profiles

associated with this device", i see the monitor (LG1760TR) name.

 

please advise what is the best course of action:

 

(1) should i leave this profile as is

(2) leave this profile associated to the display but update it (using adobe gamma etc.)

(3) select to associate something different e.g. adobesRGB (and calibrate)

(4) something else

 

thanks

1_for now, yes.

 

2_adobe gamma is the worst thing existing on your PC, just after virus and trojan horse.

 

3_nope

 

4_something else is correct answer; YOU WIN! buy a device such as spiderpro3, eye1 pro or a colormunki..basically something that will create a real custom profile for your particular monitor and environement. around 150$ to 500$
