Which ICC Profile should I use for my notebook screen (Toshiba Tecra)?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3282 / 2 Years ago, thu, august 11, 2022, 2:15:13

I have a dual monitor setup on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:

the primary screen of my notebook Toshiba Tecra R850-11D

my external monitor Samsung SyncMaster P2470HD

The external monitor has a much better image quality, since it uses its own ICC Profile (Default, SyncMaster), but the screen of my notebook doesn't use any ICC Profile.

Color

What should I do and where could I get the appropriate ICC Profile for my Toshiba notebook in order to gain a much better quality of colors of my desktop environment?

You can generate it yourself if you're willing to spend a bit of money and get a colorimeter. Amazingly, there's one that's not only compatible with Linux, it's built for Linux!

ColorHug

Use it with the colorhug-client package available in the repos.

This is really the best way as the colour profile is generated based on your own individual screen and even compensates for room lighting.

Otherwise, as you've seen if you do a Google search, colour profiles for something very specific are very hard to find and often don't exist.
