Updating my display profiles and some problems I'm dealing with

Software

Hi everyone,

Since it’s been some time since I’ve done my initial calibration and profiling of my screen, I think it may be a good idea to do it again.

Do I need to do everything over again (reset to default and then do the calibration and profiling), or is there a way to just “update” it? Despite having some experience in this, it’s quite scary to fiddle with anything to be honest :sweat_smile:

My screens suddenly didn’t really look right anymore, but that my also be due to having an accident with GPU drivers where I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but I’m unable to properly install Intel drivers again (it kinda works) and can’t update to the latest version (something perhaps to do with being stuck on an old 23H2 version of Windows 11). I think the color differences came from losing settings for the displays in the GPU app, so it should help to just recalibrate and stuff.

I could try to resolve the update problem of Windows, but I’m afraid of something important breaking and especially now it’s not desirable to break my system…

Thanks.

If you use displaycal, you can use the Verify (or something like that) tab. After running it will spit out some info which might be helpful. IIRC there are some settings you may have to play with (consult the manual for more accurate info than I can provide). You can read this displaycal forum thread for more info too.

If it has been some time since your last calibration, you should just run it again.

It was last April, so almost a year. So what should I reset to default? Probably unload the .icm profile and reset the color adjustments in my monitor’s OSD settings?

Are you using displaycal? If yes, just run the complete calibration and let it install the resulting ICC profile.

Yes I do. Oh, so I don’t need to do anything, just run the process again?
