MacRumors LG display color profile.

My new MBA has the LG display.

I typed the following into the terminal:

Code:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

I got the following output:

Code:

LP133WP1-TJA3
Color LCD

With the LP prefix, this determines that I have the LG display. I found this tutorial:

http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/30/how-...lay-in-a-macbook-air-and-make-it-look-better/

And installed the MacRumors LG color profile. I must say the colors do look better, especially the blacks.

Thanks to the forum.

I was reading that Mountain Lion corrected this.

This profile absolutely sucks for my 2012 LG display

How many shades of gray can you see on Lagom's test grid?

For me, most just became black, it's noticeable when for example watching a movie, in dark scenes I can't see much detail at all.

But all displays are different. That calibration didn't fit my screen, that's all I can say. One might have to try a lot of calibration files if there's no access to a HW calibrator to do a proper one.

jmgag03's profile helped me the most. Using it until I get around doing a proper HW calibration myself.

Why would you post that test?! Apparently my samsung display is terrible haha. I couldn't see the top row of the boxes, and scanned through the other tests and the results weren't good.
