Just bought a S2340L. Colours look unnaturally warm. No good for photo editting. Anyone has a simple fix?

if you are serious in photography, u shud invest in monitor color calibrator. around rm4xx can get you a decent one.

Just looking for close-to colour calibrated results. Any settings for RGB, brightness and contrast that I can try?

I have seen these for other monitors before and have had good results but can't seem to find for the S2340L.

You can try but it won't be accurate. Even within the same model, different monitors would exhibit different colours.

And just to make a point, colour calibration drastically improves colour accuracy, difference is pretty big.

Just looking to be in the ballpark range. No need to be spot on accurate. I know for sure it is wayyyy off now.

My gf who is not a photographer also commented that the colour is very orangey.

why you didnt read my old comment, just use quickgamma, do a RGB calibration, make sure the red, gree, blue colour on  gamma 2.2 range is nearly similar. instead of changing gamma level on ICC profile or windows, you change it on the rgb level on your monitor, this is the same done for TV calibration, so you can use all the application that is not ICC-profile aware (e.g Hardware-accelerated video output). All this free of charge without using hardware calibrator, but of course hardware calibrator provide much better result.

dont just take ICC profile or other RGB level configuration from other users, the ccfl/led light provided by ccfl/led backlit/edge-lit does not always produce similar colour/brightness and can be yellowish from time to time, the result is also depend on the room ambient light as well. That why calibration is recommended from time to time

Worked perfectly! Thanks!
