ASUS VG248QE Lightboost Color profile [fixes purple tint]
Posted: 26 Nov 2014, 02:59
Hey there,
I have had this monitor for quite some time and I only recently thought about sharing this:
It is a color profile I created a while ago with the Spyder Pro for Lightboost. It uses a white point of 6500K and gamma of 2.2 (target). In the OSD I have set contrast to 50 for the best picture.

White Point 6500K, gamma 2.2 (target) as usual.
This is essentially the same post as in the Blur reduction forums.
Edit: I almost forgot (since I am using Spyder Software that does this) that it is not enough to select the color profile. You will also need to load the LUT table into your GPU. This can be done using a third party "LUT-Loader" or through Windows color management.
See here for details on how to activate Win7 LUT management:

As I sad earlier, most Fullscreen Applications will override this.
Solution 1:
Borderless windowed, this is a Window that looks exactly like fullscreen since border are removed and it covers the entier screen. My favourite applications are:

Solution 2:
There are third party applications that can prevent this. Easiest method is using a hardware calibration device such as the Spyder4pro that comes with software to do this.
Slightly more complicated but free:

Edit:
Here are some other programs that prevent 3d fullscreen applications from overriding the profile:

Note: use only one color profile program, they might interfere with each other
They should work in theory but I had limited success with locking the profile. Might be because they interfered with my spyder software (see note above)
If you have more questions feel free to ask.
