Mako has a f*cked up calibration
thanks to mr. muramatsu. We all know it. Google knows it. Every tech page on this planet reported it. Why Google cranked gamma and risked washed out colors? Pure terror of banding, since LG's original calibration is terrible, too. One thing we all can agree to, this is not how IPS looks, this is not how LG shipped Mako, this is not how they ship Optimus G, its not natural, its not good.
There are virtually no good presets at this point, this device is out for months and all we have is simple RGB calibration which is absolutely useless. Some kernels allow for more but at most that's still just 2 values out of nine, missing out on such aspects as whitepoint, blackpoint, saturation, etc. All values are exposed but i've seen no real use of them.
The LG kernel gives us three channels to play with, R, G and B. Each channel exposes 9 values to tweak gamma. The task here is to find out what these values are and create reasonable presets, possibly the very first ones on this plattform that make any sort of sense.
