Mike, you're not going to get a close match without a decent hardware calibration tool like the x-rite i1 display pro creating those profiles from scratch per monitor. A simple color profile loaded from the internet is not going to take into account the hardware differences to each monitor, and is extremely unlikely to match between even the same brand of monitor, much less different brands and types. You can also look at Spyder but I've had bad luck with those. And these tools, in the $150-500 range are really not going to get you more than a close match between screens. To get true broadcast-quality color-matching and / or accuracy I'd recommend hiring a professional with a high-end calibration tool. those can run in the 5 or 6 figures, but you can have them come in for a day at a reasonable cost and rent their hardware / expertise depending on your needs

We recently purchased four Samsung MU7000 40’ monitors ($550) for our animators. Aside from some annoying edge enhancement, having the a 4k workspace and an image that looks much closer to the video walls we mainly use, they are great.

 

My question is what is the best way to calibrate them? I have searched for .icm color profiles, but there doesn’t seem to be any for TV monitors. Also, is there method for getting true monitors to match the TV monitors?

 

 

Thnx
