LG UltraFine 5K Monitor color temperature

Just connected the LG UltraFine 5K to my iMac Pro. Seems like the color temperatures of the 2 monitors aren't quite the same. Anyone know if this is typical?

iMac Pro, iOS 11.4, null

LG 27MD5KL color temperature slightly off relative to connected iMac I just connected an LG 27MD5KL monitor to my iMac and the color temperature is slightly warm compared to the iMac. I've played with alternative profiles for the LG, but they don't improve the color temp match. I cannot figure out how to adjust the color temperature of the LG. Has anyone managed to do this? Thanks.

LG 5K display colour temperature Hi, the colour temperature of my LG 5K display is slightly warmer than my iMac Pro. This is mainly noticeable on solid white and certain shades of grey. I was told that these are the same display panel, so I was hoping for a closer match. But, is this just inevitable variation between two similar displays?

Match the color from my 2021 MB Pro to my 2 LG 5K Monitors Hello everyone - I have 2 of the LG 27MD5K monitors plugged into the left and right Thunderbolt ports of my 2021 MacBook Pro 14" - with the M1 Pro chip. Everything works great! The problem is that I am trying to get the color/warmth/tonality to be the same across all 3 screens. Is this possible? The Macbook Pro is set to an Apple XDR Display Preset. It looks great. The 2 LG Monitors come off a bit too cool and I usually have to turn down the brightness a bit. The presets for the LG monitors are of course different than the Macbook presets. Is there a way to keep them all looking the same? Should I make a custom profile? If so - how would i do that? Thank you for any help!
