New monitor question.

[ATOJAR]

Hey all, just bought a new monitor(comes today) .... An Asus VG248QE in fact.

I've read the monitor usually takes some calibration to get the colours looking great so ive downloaded a Nvidia ICC profile for the monitor from here >CLICK ME< im know how to install the profile but im a total noob at this stuff so my question is this.

Does a ICC profile actually pre-set things like brightness, contrast & colour etc? I mean do i just install the ICC profile and this fully calibrates the monitor?

Cheers.

Well i must say im really impressed with this monitor, the colours are amazing! Just gonna take some getting used to because in the 7 years i had my old monitor i had never ever calibrated it.The colours look really deep and vibrant.

Installed the Nvidia ICC profile in the link i provided and im using the PC Monitors TEST OSD settings as you(PCM2)suggested, Have digital vibrance set to 70 via nvidia control panel .... One thing though, i had to turn the red down to 93 as 100 seemed to give a very slight pinkish tint.
