OK, this has been done before and strangely I've done this a couple of years ago when I bought my Dell screen for use with my Mac mini. I have been aware that I haven't re-calibrated since but the output has been so consistent that it hasn't warranted it. That is until I've changed to a MacBook Pro.
So I faffed with it all evening last night. It is a faff with OS, as the calibration solution software is windows only, so having to use my works laptop to do and there were all sorts of issues. Anyway, that's not the point of this. My point is, that after creating a profile and transferring to my MPB as you should, the colours emitted from the profile are all over the place. The default monitor profile marry's up nicely with my MPB (software i1 profile), the two side by side look very close.
My question for anyone is: How relevant is the icm file in use when the LUT has been hardware profiled? Surely the screen retains that data and so what's the use of the profile anyway? Why would it display incorrectly and the generic version look consistent?
Hoping that someone like @Pookeyhead could drop by and enlighten me
