  • novideo_srgb

    Calibrate monitors to sRGB or other color spaces on NVIDIA GPUs, based on EDID data or ICC profiles

  • novideo_srgb: only works with NVIDIA GPUs, it'll transform all colors output by the GPU. It's not ideal for color-critical work if your monitor isn't well-behaved, as it can only do a simple matrix-based color space transform (as opposed to 3D LUT). I would suggest trying it and then doing a verification report in DisplayCAL to see if it works well with your monitor(s).

  • dwm_lut

    Apply 3D LUTs to the Windows desktop for system-wide color correction/calibration

  • dwm_lut: works by hooking into DWM (the desktop window manager), and transforms colors via a 3D LUT. Has some performance impact and doesn't work with exclusive fullscreen, but other than that, it's as good as (or maybe better than) an external LUT box.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
