That's rather odd. Many monitor OSDs offer temperature settings separately to the main colour section, so do look around the whole OSD menu. Failing that, I don't personally know of a reliable way to set a monitor's colour temperature. (For that matter, I wouldn't be surprised if many monitors' settings, especially LCDs, were a long way from accurate anyway). > Warm more than likely = 6500K and Cold = 9300K (usual default) Warm could easily by 7200K or similar as well, that's not at all uncommon. > You can try the 6500K profile, but it may or may not work well.

If the manufacturer's supplied profiles aren't just broken, then they're probably better than what you could make "by eye," but you'd be sure to get a better result from a calibration device if you have access to one. Of course, if you're working under Linux calibration devices aren't presently easy to come by :-( -- Craig Ringer -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
