  • gnome-gamma-tool

    A command-line tool that lets you change gamma in GNOME and Cinnamon (with Wayland). You can also adjust contrast and brightness. It works by creating a color profile with the VCGT table, so that changes are persistent and don't interfere with other settings like night light.

  • I purchased a mint condition T490 recently but I found the display to be inferior compared to the touchscreen of my T460. Both have 45% NTSC coverage but the T460 is pretty good in my opinion while I thought the T490 is too bright, almost washed out (it came with the standard FHD IPS AUO panel). Then I realized that it's actually the gamma that is too much for my liking and this is something that you can control from software. So I set it to 90% with this tool and voilá the display now has more contrast and looks much better to me. Difference is pretty big actually, it went from I want to replace it to it's perfectly fine in a blink of an eye. Absolutely recommended!
