Hello,

here is a site that offers free LCD calibration profiles obtained with a LaCie Blue Eye Pro:

http://www.digitalversus.com/article-424.html

I would be curious if anyone has tried them and if they have noticed any improvements in their display.
 
I actually bought a viewsonic vx2240w based on their 22" roundup and tried out the calibration profile. i have this screen hooked up to a mac mini that i just picked up recently and the colors looked a little off. i tried out the calibration feature in os x and it looked better. the problem is the website doesn't specify what brightness/contrast settings were used when creating these profiles. i would assume the default settings that come with the screen were used but when i switched to their profile (with default contrast/brightness), everything looked pinkish to me. when you go through the calibration process on os x, they initially tell you to move contrast all the way to 100 (which i hate) so that there is a standard.
 
calibration profiles done with other monitors are no good and will be inaccurate.

dont waste your time, anyone who thinks these profiles will give you the results of a calibrated monitor are sorely mistaken. it just doesnt work that way.:)
 
What Dunan said. Calibrating a display is, be definition, a "per-display" proposition.
 
I agree that it will not be like a calibration of the individual monitor.
But like posting brightness and contrast settings it will help those who don't know what to do next.
99.9% of the people today use the monitor out of the box and never do adjust anything and wonder why their display looks like crap.

Not to mention DELL junk that you can't set anything but brightness as well as temp sometimes.
 
I have found one of these profiles quite helpful for my Samsung 2232BW. I installed the one specific to the panel I have and colors look a lot better. Probably not perfect but better than I could ever do manually.
 
As other have already mentioned, calibration is a case by case exercise.
I had two Dell 2407WFP and the calibration file was different.
 
Apparently there is a pretty good success rate for these profiles. This same site tested them first of all with various configurations and then says that user feedback has been relatively good. Of course, it's basically a question of beating manufacturers in their minor modifications between different screen versions or in the case of some Samsungs of having the same panel.
