I recently purchased an Asus VH226H monitor and am wanting to calibrate it. I've got the brightness and contrast set where they should be, but now I need to adjust the RGB colors. I'm not too good at doing that by eye, so I was wondering if there was a way to do it with the color filters people normally use when adjusting TVs (because I do have those).
Now, I'd set it in sRGB mode, but sRGB mode looks awful on this monitor. In fact, all of the color profiles (cool, natural, warm, and sRGB) look awful. Not only are they overly dull looking (more so than they should be), but they put a nasty color tint to the picture. For example, warm is overly pink looking. The same goes for sRGB, which is really odd. sRGB is supposed to look good, but it is too pink-ish. My brother got the VH236H at the same time I got this monitor, and his sRGB mode looks like it should. Mine does not.
Perhaps I should call Asus about this, but I have noticed that the "user mode" color profile looks normal. I can manually adjust the RGB values there, so I'd rather just calibrate it through that than deal with Asus.
