I would also love to see a better calibrated profile for 9CBB. Mine is way too blue, it makes me sad.
Thank you!! this is the best one i've found so far for my HR glossy screen.
All the other ones ive been trying are too warm. I really do need to calibrate my own screen though
Use "Open Profile" on the default "Color LCD" under System Preferences -> Displays -> Color.
Thanks! Even though my model is LP154WE3-TLB1 according to the Terminal string, my screen does look better now! If anyone else has my exact model, though, please share!
Its not a huge difference on my display from the factory profile but its not as saturated and its not as cold.
This seems rather yellowish to me. I do know that LCDs tend to have a blue-bias and that our own vision tends to prefer the blue-bias...but I've gone through the extensive calibration process 4x to get the color I have, and they've all come out pretty similar.
I've also partially based it on this picture I took and use as my background, which I think represents a rather good "blue" test; that is, I know the photo will look TOO blue on a large portion of monitors. From the several hundred photos I took of the same area (calibrated with a photographic gray card on my dSLR) and my own good memory of what it looked like (hard to forget a scene like that!), I have to go with the same assessment that your calibration just looks too yellow. (Not your fault!)
Differences in the same model HR-AG screen are indeed quite likely, it seems to me... Thanks for publishing your calibration, though! It gave me something scientific to test against. I wish I had a hardware meter to actually test my values against yours...
It shows less red than factory setting LCD profile. I love this one.
Spyder3's profiles are too.... RED!!
This looks eerily close to my self-calibrated (4x + comparing with pics I've taken) color sync. I'm assuming now that there are just different panels...I'm sticking with my own calibration, especially now that someone else has posted something nearly identical.
I agree. I've tried many profiles posted on this thread and elsewhere, and in my opinion most of them are either too dark or too blue for my 9CBB screen. I know there's probably nothing wrong with my panel at all, but I just can't stand the colour.
Thanks!
Woah, I didn't think it was possible, but it looks even darker and bluer than the original (which was way too dark and blue for me)! Weird. I don't know if I'll ever find the right profile for me if people seem to like their screen looking that way.
Weird, it definitely does not have a blue tint for me - I guess that is why each person should calibrate their own screen.
