It's not real calibration. I don't own calibrator. I am just changing gamma settings and other stuff in monitor osd to pass lagom lcd tests and so on. Nothing scientific or measurable other than by just looking at results.
So is Windows is too dark or Chrome to bright/washed? The difference is subtle but it is there (without fix in chrome) and it's big enough to skew lagom lcd website gamma and black levels results.
PS4 browser is the same as Windows Edge and chrome looks like it is doing gamma 2.1 or something among those lines instead of 2.2. It is identical with forced srgb profile.
I also suggest opening some image in chrome, downloading it and opening in windows image viewer.

edit: I've sold the aoc ag251fg gsync 240hz monitor because it had too low gamma and backlight bleeding. The LG 24GM79G I have not have perfect 2.2 gamma(easy to test by eye), ~6500k temp and 0 bleeding. Blacks are deep and it looks great. Sure it's TN but it achieves uniformity and deep blacks better than any IPS could(glow, silbering). Ofc image quality and contrast goes to shit at 144hz but it still looks better than that aoc did.

) the gamma and blacks on the browser looked completely different from Windows' ones (way more washed up), whereas Firefox or even ye ol' Internet Explorer maintained the original colors. I don't know if there are some other factors involved, but for what it's worth forcing the sRGB profile indeed worked fine for me too.
