Rog 3 display fully calibrated, no more color banding, black crush or red tint at any setting

[Danishblunt]

So after some of you may have seen my "colorbanding defeated" topic, I have cleared the color banding issue and the next ones where fixing black crush (not pixalation, but dark scenes being so dark you cannot see anything) on very low brightness level and red tint, today I've finally done it. Finetuned everything to absolute perfection, the panel achieves lower brightness level even compared to other phones such as Samsung S21, Oneplus 9 pro, Sony Xperia II without losing any details to crushed blacks. Even at "0%" brightness, no red tint is visible on any videos, no matter how dark they are.
Now how was this achieved?!
As already mentioned from the very beginning when I first started the journey, this solution did require a dynamic solution. It's simply not enough to just have 1 calibration profile and hope it would work, you do need multiple profiles based on the brightnes for the panel in order to fix the panel completely. This is the first phone to my knowledge that does not suffer from any type of tint without minimum brightness being extremely high or IPS panel (after fix), most phones have green tint such as oneplus, samsung, Iphone and currently stock Rog3 has red tint. So far manufactuers have been trying to fix the tinting by upping the minimum brightness so that the screen cannot go low enough to have noticable tint, which I find a bad solution especially for a person like me who is quite sensitive to light.
To all who already have my solution, you know where the find the update 🙂
I hope the ASUS devs will also implement dynamic profiling on the rog3 screen as well, there is such an incredible potential. I also hope that other manufacturers will finally start doing the same, it's so sad to see so many great panels being under utilized because of nobody being bothered to handle it correcly.
I will derp a little more trying to see how low I can get brightness wise until it becomes impossible to not have black crush, after that I'll show you guys the incredible results ^.^

Now I see something that people call it "Black Crush", but this is visible mostly in this video which isnt good quality. I can see it on Mi 10T Pro and others devices but not as much.

This is not any color problem. This is just big contrast of display. Nothing wrong. Also doesnt see any "missing details or things" like you posted earlier with the screen.

Just run this trailer on your PC monitor and put the contrast to the max. U will see your "black crush" visible.

Gaming phones must have big contrast, this is very common. If you want to watch movies, just dont go for ROG phone. This is very simple solution.

Yea, we could have option to control contrast of display, it would be nice, but I dont see there any problem as it is a gaming phone.

But while comparing movies with Mi 10T Pro I see one very big problem - disgusting green tint on ROG 5 😕

No thats not true , its not the screen that sucks but its the calibration that just sucks really bad , i m currently using @Danishblunt fix and trust me , my rog 3 display turned from crap to beauty becozhe fixed gamma , colour banding and other one or two stuff with his kernel
Same calibration issue with rog 5 and there is also some hardware limitation with display chip of pixelworks or something like that i read on internet

I dont know what have he changed but it is too big contrast.

Could you make those pictures as requested? Because what you're saying makes 0 sense, it's literally impossible for the mi10T to have any black crush. It's an LCD screen, meaning it's incapable of crushing blacks. Usually putting an OLED next to an LCD reveals details that the OLED crushes. I'm curious because if what you're saying is true then that means something on the rog5 display has changed last time I got a look at it.

Well trust me , even if you see photo of two rog 3 together where one with fix and one without , you will realise how beautiful the screen is , its just wrongfully done calibration but i will tell you that even photo dont do justice of how beautiful it really is
Its you have to see in person to believe 🙃🙃

Doesnt mean users don't get it, so far i gave it to everyone who asked (on other platforms than zentalk, before you get the idea of spamming my inbox), so it shouldnt affect the users, only devs.

Naah I won't, I was just curious and it's still beyond me why a team of devs arent pulling this off, maybe they are just not trying. Device is still under warranty and I am bit of a flash junky and like to do some script mods of my own. As there are no good roms available with added benefits I won't be rooting ROG3, stock rom is still better in most scenarios. And I guess when time comes I might have a newer device🤪.
