This thread is created to share updated monitor profiles that would allow other users to share better picture quality from their monitors. Below is a set of instructions on how to make this happen. Please be advised that the requested monitor profiles should come from either:
colorimeter
photometer
I am not trying to be rude but profiles made by "eye" are very subjective. Also, please bare in mind that you could request profiles for certain monitors. I will do my best to update all profiles in the OP to prevent people from having to go through several posts just to see if their monitor is listed. If possible, please use anti-virus/anti adware to scan your profiles both sending and receiving.
Please keep in mind that even though these monitors were calibrated using a colorimeter/photometer the profiles may or may not work correctly with your monitor.
In order to find your monitor profile you go here:
XP
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color
Win2K
C:\WINNT\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color
Mac OS X
/Library/Colorsync/Profiles (System wide)
~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles (User folder)
Places of where you can upload your colorimeter/photometer monitor calibrated profile:
RapidShare
File Cloud
Files Upload
File Den
Here is the format of how you should post your profile:
Profile name:
Make/Model/Size of Monitor that profile applies to
Monitor Menu Adjustments
OS
