    I recommend installing using DisplayCAL.

    This profile is made using DisplayCAL and X-Rite i1 Profiler. 30+ minute warmup is done based on the general recommendation and the calibration is set to run at the lowest speed and use the most amount of color patches for profiling (overall takes about 5-6 hours to complete it).

    Calibration result and ICC can be downloaded below.

    Each screen is slightly different, so it may work and it may not for other users.

    This is meant for someone who doesn't want to fork out money on a colorimeter.

    That ICC profile calibrates the display with good accuracy only to your screen, as I said each screen is different even if it had the same panel part number.

    Using your ICC profile on a different display might be better than the factory calibration on some devices and on others it might be worse.

    With that said... how's it work overall as a free calibration program compared to others?

    probably the best if you don't want to spend any money (displaycal)
