Setting Blue to 100, red to 0, green to 0 on monitor on AMD graphics verses intel integrated has really helped me. I know everyone here mainly uses Invidia. This has helped on both Ubuntu and Windows. basically unusable operating systems before for serious use. This is on an IPS LG monitor with 6 bit+FRC dithering. I got rid of my quantum dot and so wish I didn't bc I would have like to try this on that monitor.

Everywhere I read. Use warm colors. Use warm colors. but I have my monitor temperature at 7k right now. with zero green or red using a display port. give me a break. every human's eye has a preference and I think I am finding mine.

Does anyone know of a good monitor calibration tool that can be used on both Linux and Windows? One that allows the use to tailor the Icc profile to make profiles that are more blue for instance than red or green. There is a sample one in Ubuntu and in def helps.

Thanks

    Wrightpt1 There is software out there you can use to make a custom ICC profile, but I don't have any experience with it

    Congrats on finding something that seem to have worked

      Went with x-rite i1 display pro. I read some about icc profiles here but not much about color calibration. Maybe didnt look hard enough.

      I def get diff strain when switching between icc profiles on ubuntu. Android does not have a color mngmt system. Its coming in the O release though so that my smartphone can be calibrated as well.

      Will report back on how calibrating the individual monitor helps verses included icc profiles.

        Wrightpt1 Just out of curiosity, do you know how to "read" an ICC profile to see what it exactly is adjusting?

            ensete great question. I do not. There was a program i found for Windows that allow one to modify is slightly but when I did, the system did not recognize them as icc profiles. futhermore, i could only edit them slightly.

            I am anxious to try the spectrometer out today. It seems the X-rite commercial software is a bit more buggy than the spydermonkey software but the X-rite spectrometer has better color accuracy from what I have read. DisplayCal is supposedly better software than both of these.

            I saw some kits that were over 1000 from X-rite but they used the same spectrometer as the cheaper kits thankfully.

            The process take approx. an hour and half at least wtih displayCal. For higher accuracy it is longer. When talking with the X-rite tech he said the the higher the white point one sets, the "bluer" the icc profile would be. He said there software went up to 9300K. So that is one way to modify it at least. or how to know what correlates to a more bluer icc profile. We got to this by me saying I wanted a blue tinted icc profile.

                Wrightpt1 Great info.

                I'm thinking of buying a ~30-32 inch 4k monitor for myself and a color calibrator so I can get accurate colors.

                  ensete x-rite i1 display pro. It was 218 off Amazon. Makes a world of difference. My ips reminds me of the quantum color va panel from samsung now. Its incredible. Def not the same but it just allows my acreen to work together with the colors.

                  Also today, honestly been a day of hell. I received a power supply in for light strips that came out of an led tv. That type of lighting doesnt seem to conflict as much as other light have with the light coming out out of my screen. I think if placed properly can compliment it. Fingers crossed of course.

                  Everywhere i read, only one article said color calibration reduces eye strain. i for one can say it does. And the constant voltage leds are not good for lighting around a computer. Constant current in an ambient way has been the best for me thus far.

                      as far as the lights go. the set that I am using are the following:

                      Svh500a22_rev05_6led_131113

                      I am using another pair, but something about those my eyes does not like. They have 2 leds per led module. While the above only have one.

                      The power supply I am using is the following.
                      HLG-120H-350A.

                      I prefer having these lights on as to siting in a dark room. This is the closest I have come to finding lights that seems to compliment my screen instead of work against it.

                      I have tried two suppliers off of alibaba and neither say they can make an led strip similar to the the model I provided above. They all want to put leds in series with sections of leds together in parallel.

                      I remember my eyes feeling different behind my va panel with quantum color. May try that with these lights. if that works hallelujah. But right now this is the closest I have come.

                      My LG panel with the lights mentioned above. I am using a cover that came out of the television for diffusion.

                      Here are the other strips I have tried: V580h1_Ld6_tldc2

                      These are a no go in my opinion. a local electronics technician that services tv told me these seem to have two leds per module compared to the model number mentioned above.

                      Also, the total voltage drop for the set of strips mentioned above seems to be 440 volts, the power supply is only ranked for 430. so taking away one strip from the total should fit the power supply perfectly if I am not mistaken.

                      I burned out some when trying. I had parts of my positive and negative wire exposed where I extended the wire to connect the leds and they tapped together and it ruined some strips in the set. Very sad moment.

                      I am only able to power 4 strips in the set and technically I am not in the constant current range of the power supply. I called mean well to see what happens when one is not in the constant current range I could not get clear answer other than it may not work properly. How it does not work properly is unknown.

                      I think I am going to try to measure the milliamps and see if it changes or moves but I am scared to touch them at this point. and am happy I have light that isn't out to get me I feel like.

                      AMD updated there driver this past Sunday night. I swear I can feel a difference in eye comfort. don't want to jinks it though.

                      The icc profile are a winner I think. Getting the right settings is key. I have been experimenting with high gammas, etc.

                      Can report more of my experience later. I doubt anyone here uses amd graphics. But just reinstalled Windows with no driver installed, DisplayPort in my video card. not perfect but the best experience I have had yet.

                      Wrightpt1 Everywhere i read, only one article said color calibration reduces eye strain.

                      Google "Irlen Syndrome"

                      and am happy I have light that isn't out to get me I feel like.

                      Hence my 800+ incandescent light bulbs I have sitting in my garage right now.
