Matching profile of another monitor

[darkblueey]

Hi,

I recently bought an IPS monitor and a spyder colorimeter. I calibrated my monitor using the srgb settings + 140 cd/m2. However, I much prefer the color output of my m2 macbook air that’s connected to the monitor, even though it isn’t accurate. Since I don’t want to calibrate my macbook to begin with, is there a way I can duplicate the color output on the other monitor?

Measure macbook WP, set is as calibration target for the other monitor. Match brightness visually (as measured in DisplayCAL). If whirte color does not match, use visual WP editor in DIsplayCAL your desktop display.
Also do not use sRGB OSD mode in external monitor, macOS has color management at desktop, although limited. Choose OSD setting “User” “Custom” or whatrever they named it, the one where you can use RGB gains to tweak white point.

Contrast mismatch is not solvable, for example desktop 800:1 macbook 1500:1.

Once you matched white & bightness all in gamut colors for color managed apps should be close.
