So I calibrated my LG monitor (lg 22mp68vq) with I1display pro plus and the the screen looks a little warm after calibration. I have read that this is normal perception of many people who have calibrated their monitor for the first time, but I just want to be sure. I have attached my setting and the final report, is this normal?
I also set my Mobile display to cinema mode and it too looked warm to my eyes, but I have read many people saying that cinema mode in mobile or TVs is close to the right white value.
So is all this normal? Is my report fine?

Also contast looks a little low for an IPS @D65. Are you sure you didn’t modify OSD settings after calibration?
No, I didn’t change any OSD settings after calibration. The monitor is 4 year old if that makes a big difference?
I am going to reset the monitor and Calibrate it again and switch off the energy saving of the monitor and switch the black levels to low(there are two options :- high and low) in the monitor OSD.
So I calibrated the monitor again with black levels to low and the contrast did increase.
The ambient color temperature of the room is around 3800k( measured using i1display pro plus) and white level is around 40 cd/m.
Screenshots attached.
I also have an LG monitor here (22LV5500) and the “Black Level = [low, high]” setting is really misnamed. From my testing it is actually the option to choose the 0-255 or 16-235 luma range where Low = 16-235 and High = 0-255. It is a really confusing nomenclature.
I also have made the experience that over time the color filters in colorimeters do degrade. I have a rather old one and after calibrating to D65 my monitor looks very, very magenta-ish, so much so that it is clearly, obviously wrong. This very old X-Rite eye-one display 2 (ca 12 years old) measures a cloudy sky as x=0.318 y=0.371 which is actually far too green. As it measures too much green, the calibration results in too much magenta.
If however, I set the target whitepoint to “as measured” (or specify values measured from a known white source) the calibration looks mostly fine. Would not trust the profile very far, though.
