LG Calibration Software
LG calibration software is a software application designed to calibrate an LG monitor.
Most monitors have color reproduction issues that cause them to display colors that differ from the intended
ones. There are many reasons for this. LG calibration software helps you calibrate the color difference on
your monitor by providing calibration options to customize the monitor to suit your needs.
True Color Pro is one of the LG calibration software applications.
Click the Help button in the upper right corner for information about how to use the software.
