Anyone mess with their white balance settings to try and get the most accurate colors?

Right now I have
R= 0
G= 22
B= 22
 
I'm a photographer and calibrate my desktop monitor monthly, so I feel like I have a decent grasp on the issue. The display white balance out of the box definitely looks to be too cool. Adjusting it will be one of the first orders of business when my device gets here on Wednesday... will report back here after that.
 
I do have the i1 DisplayPro which I use to calibrate/profile my monitors. I believe it can be used to profile the phone as well since the company made an app for it.

I have not tried it out but can give it a try to see it can be profiled to 6500K white.

Let me know what u use! I want mine to be as accurate as possible
 
On my D6633, to my eyes, the best white balance settings were:
R- 32
G- 108
B- 0

I must admit that I didn't try too hard but with the time I dedicated for that, those were the best settings.YMMV.

Personally i see little point in increasing the Blue if the problem is blue tint to begin with! I have found the best settings to be R 61 G 9 AND B 0

But i have read that that some displays are better then others depending on the model number you have so i could be wrong but my understanding is that some z3's dont need adjustment at all but thats just based on a comment i saw from a user who had two z3's but both were different models and he found the display on one to be better then the other
