Samsung ICC profiles

[frankvw]

I've got a Samsung S22S330NHM monitor. Not much of display, but then I don't have much of a budget these days. It's not bad for regular office work. For photo editing, OTOH, it's not great because the colours aren't very accurate.

Way Back When, in the days when I did this for a living, I had better monitors for which ICC profiles were available for download from the manufacturer to get you started (the next step being a calibration device). For this monitor, though, all I find is Windows and Mac settings utilities. (I'm runninng Linux.) Samsung doesn't seem to publish any ICC profiles at all.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of an ICC profile for a Samsung S22S330NHM monitor?

On the Samsung website where you found the settings utilities is the "Device (Install)" option. Download that file, it is a self-extracting archive. Run it in Wine (or another Windows machine if available) and choose a suitable folder to extract the contents to.

It will try to run the Installshield setup after the files have been extracted, just ignore that and close the installer.
Go to the folder that you specified for the extracted files, the ICC profile file will be located in the folder. (it will have an .ICM extension)
Grab it and then import it on your Linux machine.
