9CA0 LCD in my 13" MacBook Pro

tekmoe said:

My 13" MacBook Pro has the 9CA0 LCD. I figured out it is a Chi-Mei. The LCD panel code is N133I6-L06. Seems like everyone who has their 13" MacBook Pro's all have the 9C9F LCD's.

The 9CA0 looks great to me! WAAAAY better than the previous MacBook screens!

I have a 00009CBD on my new 2.53 MBP 13".

Wonder what it is..

Mine is: LTN133AT09

Samsung I guess, yuck.

Why is that yuck? Samsung makes some of the best LCD screens in the world. Just look at their TV's.

The Samsung screens are known to be the worst out of the four manufacturers. From what I've heard LG-Philips, Chi Mei, and AUO are the best of the bunch. I've already noticed a problem with my panel: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/716467/. If anyone else can re-produce it I may try to get my new MacBook Pro swapped out this weekend.

LP133WX3-TLA1 is mine.

looks perfect and they increased the color depth compared to the older 6 bit screens

mine is also a 9CBD. Terminal says its a LP133WX3-TLA1. not sure what brand that is, but screen is very nice

LTN133AT09 is actually an LG Philips Screen (branded Samsung). I also have it in my new 13" MBP.

It's night and day compared to my old one.

Nope, and mine is identified as 9C9E in the display profile.

I have the 9C9E on my 13" MBP. No issues. Seems less saturated than my previous 13" uMB.

Any good color profiles out there for the 9C9E?

Yea I've got a LP133WX3-TLA1 which is a LG-Philips. Looks great!

My new Macbook Pro "13 2.26 also has the 9CBD - looks good

so the new ones on 13" are 8bit??

I read the old ones had 45% gamut, new ones have 72% gamut.

Any pics by chance? I can't wait a day to compare them myself.

I have a 9C9F in my 13 inch. is this the screen from the macbook air?

I'd like one too!

Screens on the 13" MBP

At the local Apple store I found these screens on the 13" MacBook Pros on display:

9C9E
9C9F
9CBD

A previous post has a 9CA0 Chi-Mei?

Can someone fill in the manufactures of these displays?

I checked the new displays to determine if I wanted to replace my 13" Collector's Edition MacBook with the new 13" MacBook Pro.

IMO the new displays are definitely better, but no enough to justify replacing my current MacBook.

Yep....

My panel is 9C9E. Terminal says LTN133AT09. However, I am experiencing a problem with color saturation. Specifically, blue appears purple. All links which are supposed to be blue now turn up purple. This is especially frustrating, and I hope Apple can resolve the issue.
