Question to those with 9CDF displays: I wonder if we could cook up some kind of objective test of depth of blacks and contrast of the two 13.3" displays. For example, if two users with different displays had the same digital camera, perhaps this would be possible? I have a 9CF display and a Panasonic Lumix LX5 and LX3, as well as an iPhone 4. Anybody else? The Lumix can do 1 cm macro shots that could be used to look at pixel bleeding, blacks and contrast, as long as all variables (image displayed, display profile, dark room, etc) are well controlled.
Anybody know a working procedure for objectively comparing displays remotely?
A better idea: can anybody guess what Anandtech used to quantify the contrast, white, black, color accuracy, gamut, of the displays in their test? We should be able to use the same methodology to quantify differences between the 9CF0 and 9CDF.

Question to all: in their review of the new airs, anandtech gave a quantitative comparison of various display properties of the airs and other laptop displays. Does anybody know what methodology they use to arrive at those numbers? Anandtech doesn't have contact information on true website, so there's no way to ask them I think.
If we an find out what method they used, we'll have a direct way to compare eg the 9cdf and 9cf0 displays.

I wonder if anyone else has my display which seems to be a rare 13" 9CDF since no one here reports having a similar one.
I do too!
I have a 9CF3. Completely off, which proves that using someone else's calibrated profile is COMPLETELY WORTHLESS.
By the way, I calibrated by eye using Apple built in calibrator, then used a Spider. The results were IDENTICAL. This means anyone can just spend five minutes and calibrate their displays themselves.

I just got my "Ultimate 13" and it has the 9CDF display. My initial impression is that the colors are a lot more deep and the whites are brighter than my Rev B SSD (9C9A) display. I haven't tweaked any settings yet.
thanks! it looks a bit warmer that the color LCD which is i like. my reference too is apple website those 4 wonderful gentlemen called beatles

Anyone have a better 9CDF profile. Perhaps one hardware calibrated?
The previous postings on here were not actually calibrated on a 9CDF display.
Thanks!

Did you look at all the pages carefully? Ton123's profile is for a 9CDF and works really well for me.
I did, but I'm not a fan of that profile.
After doing my own calibration with SuperCal, I think I am sticking with the default profile for now.
Put the profiles in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles.
Then you can just click on them in System Preferences -> Displays -> Color.
It says to go to system preferences, display, and color. It doesn't say anything else.
Also, even if it were there, it would be best to re post it considering other members are coming into the thread and probably prefer to read about it in the most up to date posts.
So, if you would be so kind and since you know where it is, could you post it?
Edit:
I just re-read it. I was overlooked the open profile part and scrolling down. Thanks
sys prefs > displays > "color tab" > open the default color profile > scroll to bottom of this new little window that opens, highlight the field "apple display make and model" there will be a field below that now displaying info - the model field displays your LCD type.
