LG ACB8300

The LG ACB8300 is a cheap monitor calibration utility. It is designed for LG monitors and is currently only supported by LG's True Color Pro software.

I bought such a device, even though I don't have a LG display. My initial thought was that the device was just another rebranded colorimeter - but it turned out it was wrong.

This page describes the USB protocol as well as the work towards integrating it into Argyll CMS.

Hacking the USB protocol

The USB protocol consists of input reports and output reports, with a fixed length of 43 bytes. The host speaks first, the device responds (most of the time).
