Hey all,

Just got my MacBook to complement my iMac, and I'm liking it a LOT. The problem however, is that when I compare the screen to that on my iMac, it appears a lot more washed out, and the colors do not appear to be as vivid as they are on the iMac.

I run ColorSync utility, but that doesnt really get me to what kindof colors I want to be at.... everything appears bright and all, but the colors are not as crisp or vivid as I would like them to be. Are there any programs that could alter the color settings.... or possibly reduce the gamma?

Thanks in advance 🙂
