What Gloam is
Gloam is free Windows software for calibrating displays. It supports LUT calibration, multi-monitor calibration, and HDR calibration, covering single-screen, multiple-screen, and high-dynamic-range setups. The listed operating systems are Windows 10 and Windows 11. Gloam offers a free plan, and no paid pricing is listed. Its calibration functions are centered on adjusting display output rather than broader monitor-management features. Users working with several displays can use the multi-monitor mode, while HDR calibration addresses compatible high-dynamic-range workflows. LUT calibration provides another listed method for adjusting display lookup-table behavior. Gloam does not export ICC profiles, which is important if another workflow requires that file format. The software is available through its website, where users can review details about supported Windows versions and calibration functions.
