In case anyone is interested, I have a Spyder5Pro Color Calibrator so I calibrated my ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q Monitor. Here is the download link to the ICM Profile along with a few example images of before and after the calibration.



The Spyder5Pro software suggested me to turn down my screen brightness to 30% so you might wanna do that. Contrast was left at the default 50 but feel free to adjust the brightness / contrast to your liking. I'm just saying what the software actually recommended.

To install, right click on the downloaded file and select "Install Profile"



Now go to Control Panel > Color Management and follow the below illustrations:

You cannot really tell the difference from the images until you actually see the images live on your computer.

I may be insane, but the calibration you are doing is on the monitor settings themselves and your own Windows display settings. Your comparisons are worthless to anyone but you :) They look exactly the same to everyone else. :D

yeah the problem is the difference cannot be visible using the screenshots I took with FastStone capture, they have to be seen in real life to be appreciated but the profile will work and make a difference for any PG278Q

Screenshots are going to show the data that gets fed to the monitor, not the colors you see from the monitor. I think you'd have to take pictures of the monitor displaying the images.
