I have never calibrated a monitor but I think I need to with this one. I think I see a very very light blue tinge in whites. Does anyone have any calibration settings for this monitor I can try? What would be the best tool for calibrating this thing? I have read both good adn bad about the Huey Pro.

Nice reply, smart as-.....try red, 85, green 75, and blue 62, and do minor tweeks yourself. After a while I just went back to default as the slight blue tint is ok...actually, I use Scenery and Theater modes alot in gaming......the contrast and colors are great...you can turn on ASCR also, for some more "effects".
Then, calibrate brightness and contrast separately (set black, then white levels) using one of many free contrast online programs or downloads that display contrast test patterns....like Lagom (but there are better ones).
I forget, but it goes something like this: put brightness on 100%, then adjust black level using pattern w/ contrast setting; when black is set, then adjust white level using brightness w/ the pattern....and that part is done. Then re-check colors, and repeat if you want.

Well it's a TN panel. The top should be blueish and bottom a bit reddish, can't do anything about that.
These have a known issue with the blue tint and many have resolved by calibration. So there is something I can do about it.

Thank you! Very good information. I did notice scenery looked better in games then the actual game setting.
Thx again!
I just received my new monitor yesterday and was going to post the same question. I know nothing about calibrating, and the first I heard of it was in reading these forums. People have mentioned programs that can be bought. If someone has used a program to calibrate this monitor could they advise, program name, and if they are satisfied with the results. Thanks for the help.

Sorry but I was replying to this
I think I see a very very light blue tinge in whites
It's never going to be perfect with TN. If these very very small details bother someone, then maybe a TN isn't for them?

I realize it wont be perfect but I have read these are pretty far out of calibration to begin with so there is a lot to gain by calibrating.
The numbers in post #3 probably came from this blog?

"I got it home, set it up and was instantly unhappy. No dead pixels but everything had a blue tint. So I went in search of some settings others had used online to see what I could get the monitor to do. The annoying thing is I didn't really find anything very helpful. I may still take the monitor back since I haven't made my final decision but I figured I would post the settings I found to be the best after a couple hours of messing with them.
Splendid Mode: Standard Mode
Brightness: 70
Contrast: 92
Sharpness: 63
OverDrive: 60 (default)
Color Temp: User Mode
Red: 85
Green: 75
Blue: 62
So that is that. I'm going to try the monitor out for a week and see how I feel. After the changes I'm pretty happy but time will tell."

The problem with the color on this monitor is that you can't get it warm enough, not even calibrating it with hardware can do it. I also have a Philips IPS panel that calibrates beautifully, and I have an AOC TN that come sRGB very, very close looking to my calibrated IPS, as far as skin color goes. This panel is horrid compared to the standard sRGB setting of the AOC. I would be happy to just get it a little warmer, but you can't do it.
For a gamin panel or general work, it's fine, but even then, you're screen is going to look different color wise than every other screen out there that at least comes close when you set it at sRGB. My HP 17" laptop looks much better than this monitor and it calibrated very well, for a TN monitor, using hardware calibration.
This never use to bother me but it does now. I do lots of editing since I'm photographer, and having both monitors on when I edit, or all three, is when I notice the problem. The color is just whacked out compared to my other monitors.
I wish I had just waited for the ASUS IPS 16:10 monitor now, even though it's almost twice as much. This is as close as I can get it:
Theater
Next tab default
Color temp
R: 85
G: 76
B: 11
Skin Tone: Warm
