My color profile became corrupt or changed after I applied the Mountain Lion Update over the pre-installed Lion. I tried several times to calibrate manually since that update without success. This fix looks more like I remember the original factory look. Thanks for sharing it. The profile worked great on my Macbook Air Mid Summer 2011.

I knew this from staff that reported that all LG cares about is money. Never ever buy an LG product just read the reviews.

I've noticed that colors were a bit washed out on my LG Macbook Air. I tried my own calibration but I always made my darks brown by lowering the contrast too much. This is perfect. Thanks!

You can switch back to another profile with a single click, "ruined" is a bit dramatic. Maybe next time you should verify that you had an LG display and not just install a profile that isn't fit for your computers display. Ruined?

Though the color looks sharper and more vibrant but some dark areas on the image became not-visible. MacRumors if you can provide another color profile which has a slightly brighter (a bit lighter color profile) it will be perfect. Please.

I can't be happy more. I have to admit that in terms of colour, Samsung's display is way better than the LG's one. It is more vivid and striking. The text also appears sharper. YES, you may argue that LG has better colour-accuracy or whatsoever, but you will only say that if you own the LG's one. I bet if you are given a chance to choose between the LG and Samsung, you will definitely go for the samsung. Don't deny, that's the fact. One last important thing, though you can change the display property of LG's screen via the method posted by this post but it won't be as perfect as the Samsung's one, WHY? everything becomes darker. If you have an image where some areas (e.g. corner-side) are darker, by following this method that corner will become even darker and not visible. In other words, the method destroys the quality of pictures. After 3 times of exchanging my MBA, I finally got the one that comes with Samsung’s display and SSD (previous two were LG’s screen).
