How to Install Philips Colour Calibration Kit

• Unpack and verify all kit components, then connect the colorimeter to your computer via the included USB cable. Ensure your monitor is powered on and displaying a standard test image or solid color background.
• Install the calibration software: Use the provided installer or download the latest version from Philips support. Follow on-screen prompts to complete the installation and grant any necessary permissions on your operating system.
• Launch the calibration wizard: Open the software and select the monitor you want to calibrate. If you have multiple displays, repeat the process for each screen to create individualized profiles.
• Follow the guided steps: The wizard will guide you to set the target color space, white point, luminance, and gamma. Place the colorimeter on the screen as instructed for accurate readings, then start the measurement sequence.
• Review and apply the profile: After measurements complete, save the new ICC/ICM profile and set it as the default for the monitor or as an application-specific profile if required. Test with sample images to confirm color accuracy and adjust if needed.
