profile.

RESOLUTION

Follow these steps to set the proper ICM profile:

1. Determine the proper profile to use for the monitor from one of the following
  sources:

  proper ICM profile, and then click Set As Default on the menu that appears.

Note that your monitor must use the factory default color and gamma settings.
