Samsung UE590D external monitor settings

I can't get quite the right colors on my external UE590D 4k. Does anyone have the correct settings/colors so it looks as close as possible to the MacBook Pro retina display?


Solution 1:

Here are the settings I'm using that's pretty similar.

Picture Samsung Magic Bright > Custom Brightness - 22 Contrast - 75 Sharpness - 76

Color Red 69, Green 52, Blue 60 Color Tone - Custom Gamma - Mode 3 (edited)

Solution 2:

Went round and round on this - now the Samsung is matching my Laptop (MacBook Pro 15 Inch 2018) darned near perfectly.

The trick for me was ditching the U28E590 Profile in Display Settings for the monitor and choosing "Thunderbolt Display". This alone got things very, very close.

Then on the monitor, here are my settings: Brightness: 100 Contrast: 100 (Adjust these two to taste, I like it bright and sharp) Sharpness: 72 Red: 65 Green: 62 Blue: 62 (Setting these three above 50 gave the saturation a boost) Magic Angle: Custom

Hope this helps someone.
