Does anyone know what applications or special hardware is required to adjust the RGB settings on a Gateway CrystalScan EV-700 17" monitor? I know alot of monitors can be adjusted through the DDC, but some such as most Samsung chassis require an external DDC intercept device. My monitor has taken on a moderate drift towards green and its kinda noticeable at this point.

Alternatively, is there any tool to create ICM 2.0 color profiles for Windows 98? This would at least allow me to regain color accuracy inside of Windows, though it wouldn't help for DOS applications obviously. This is my best color CRT until I can source a new beige CRT of similar quality so I'm sorta stuck with this thing.

I'm not an expert on color management in Windows 9x (or outside of it), but wouldn't a color profile in Windows only apply to color management aware applications ? Most if not all games would simply ignore it . Loading a calibration into the LUT using something like Adobe Gamma Loader might work, AFAICR . https://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/321608.html
