What QuickGamma is
QuickGamma is a Windows utility for calibrating monitor gamma without specialized hardware. It can correct gamma to 2.2 and create an ICC profile with a VCGT tag containing data for loading a graphics card’s LUT. Its integrated QuickProfileLoader is installed automatically and can use that profile data to load a monitor’s LUT. Listed capabilities also include ICC profile export and multi-monitor calibration.
Version 4.1.0.0 requires Windows 10 or later and its installation file includes 32-bit and 64-bit versions, help files, and no runtime libraries. A SHA-512 checksum is published to help verify a download. The software is free for personal use; commercial use requires written consent from the author. Private users may share the complete, unchanged installer but not its components. The author provides it as-is without express or implied warranties and invites donations. The maker also lists utilities for reading graphics-card LUT and ICC-profile VCGT data, and for creating monitor ICC profiles.
