So plug in an X-Rite calibration sensor and run the software, see if the 
right
profile can wrench it into shape.  You'll probably find you get the best luck
with the screen brightness set well lower than maximum (and fixed in that
position you did the calibration for, not letting the machine do
auto-ambient-brightness adjustment).
