I have an LG L1710S LCD monitor and get a message when I open photoshop saying my monitor profile is damaged. I Google the problem and found I need to calibrate my monitor. I ran Adobe Gamma from the control panel but found it confusing. Especially the Gamma step where its says to make the box disappear in the grid. No matter how much I moved the slided it was always there.

Is there better software I can get that will calibrate the monitor by its self? Would anyone out there happen to have the same model monitor and have an ICC file?

Thanks

Adobe Gamma won’t calibrate LCD monitors, for a free calibration utility, do a Google for wiziWYG.

Would be of no use as, not to mention no two monitors will be identical, even LCDs change. Say at best what you can get is a generic monitor profile which is going to be more or less right.

Software "calibration" is more a guessing game anyway and I’d rather recommend something like …

…. this.

Generally a monitor cannot calibrate itself by the way, say you’ll always need some piece of additional hardware.

Has anyone seen the Dell Ultrasharp 2405 FPW LCD? It looks like a winner and you can calibrate it too.
