Hi all
I've got the mbp 2.66Ghz, the early 09 model
my screen is the 9C85

I was using the 84 before, something went wrong apple change my mbp to another unit which is what I'm currently using now the 85.

I'm not sure for others, but I notice that the 85 is more yellowish warm compare to the 84 so I've created a profile towards more neutral with 2.2 gamma too.

Before with 84 I used the default profile with 2.2 gamma alittle bit warm and I like it that way.

Right now I'm very used to the custom profile I've created, but I'm afraid my eyes are getting used to it.

what I'm trying to achieve here is to get the same balance color for neutral
just afraid when I see on my screen with iphoto or aperture it's fine, but on print out or other screen it might look different.
 
In order to calibrate the screen, I think you need a screen calibration tool like eye-one, panteone etc.. They have various models from ones that do one screen, to models that calibrate multiple monitors, computers and printers. I forget the model of the eye-one that I have, but I use it to calibrate my screen so that when I use aperture and I am sure I am getting accurate colors.

hmm.. that means I need to have a tool just to properly calibrate my screen.
or
can I use others calibration profile who have the same screen as my mbp
will it be accurate, since it's the same screen model

???

Click to expand...

yes you can, try to find same profile with your screen.
 
so ar.

anyone here with screen model 9C85 willing to share your custom calibration profile?

thank you in advance
 
I have never used a calibrating tool but can appreciate their usefulness. I calibrate by using the Apple calibrator and then compare to my previously edited images. I have printed nearly every image on my Epson printer and have many that were published in magazines, catalogs and advertisements, so I understand the importance of proper calibration. My 15" MBP has the 85 display and I have no problems with it's performance. I would suggest using the Apple software and create your own profile.
 
thanks

I've tried to made a custom profile for my screen.

just tried the other two.
it looks bit red on mine awhile another one look bit dark grayish

I'll just need to find out the best suitable one
somehow I can't get a very good neutral white, it just side with bit yellow or too blue.

of course this can't compare to monitor.
and I just notice that glossy does effect how I see my screen
since it's reflecting bit from my wall(warm color)
 
How do you determine what screen you have ?
What size of MBP do you have ? I bougt a 17'' uMBP with antiglare about 6 weeks ago and wich I calibrated with an eye one.
 
System preference>displays>Color>Open Profile>Check no. 13
you can see the model there.

I just tried using the supercal.
now I've got a screen that produce a very rich deep color.
looks very good compare to the custom profile I calibrate.

it looks very rich that makes me wonder is it suppose to be like this?
 
I've took about 20min to calibration with supercal
now I think I've reach the best color I can output with my screen.
It's more understanding than apple calibrator.

I would like to share my calibration with others here
but no idea how to post it.

so drop me a private message or email here
i'll send it to you.


thank you all very much!!
 
I've just notice that my screen can't do a very deep red color
like the red you see on stage lightings
