Macbook Pro 13 display versus Macbook display

[pinsrw]

Hi all,

Has anyone done a serious analysis yet comparing the screens of the MBP 13 and the Macbook? They look different to me in the store, in particular the Macbook's looks a little yellowy to me. I guess the definitive answer would be to look at the manufacturer & model info for each and if they're the same then the question is settled. But my informal assessment is that they're different screen and that the MBP's more accurate colors.

But surely some magazine has analyzed them scientifically?

Which model of MacBook are you exactly talking about? The "old" ones, which were once offered in black, or the new white unibody MacBook?

The former has a CCFL backlighting, while the new one and the unibody MacBook Pros have LED backlighting. This is probably part of the cause of the difference.

There must also be different panels, but I don't know anything about them.

Not sure about that, but with all the different display brands out there it could be possible.

A friend of mine has a MacBook late '09 and I have a '10 MBP and the displays do look different to me. A lot different.

I'd be curious to know the real difference in color reproduction and to read a comparison between them.
