MB vs MBP Screen

[7even]

Open system preferences, click on displays. Open the color tab on the far right. Check color LCD if it's not highlighted already. Click on the profile tab. Scroll down and highlight number 13 'mmod' and it will tell you the model number of the display. Mine is a 9C84. I've used a color profile for this display that I found on these forums, and I think it's gorgeous.

But I'm confused. Other posters have told me my display is an LG, not the other one...screw it, after having a macbook, I'm satisfied with it.

Scroll up... it's LG.

I have two MBPs at the moment (in the middle of returning one; the 2nd one is the replacement). The one I'm returning happens to have the 85 screen. The replacement one happens to be the 84 screen.

The screen is not why I am having it replaced, and I don't think it's something that would lead me to do a replacement. When I got the first one (with the 85 screen), I just loved the screen and the computer in general. Then I got the replacement and love the replacement's screen even more.. it was much more vibrant and the white is more white. I set both screens to the same settings, and took a photo of the two MBPs side-by-side, and you can see the difference.

I'm at work now so I don't have the photo... but when I get home I'll upload it for you guys.

That is hilarious, so in other words some people who are adamant that one brand is better than the other might have it wrong themselves. Who knows? I've yet to see any proof one is better than the other. Could it be some people are just trying to convince themselves that their machines are superior to the others? hmmm...

Anyways, whats this about "color profiles?" Is it a sort of "preset" of the settings/calibration to bring out better colors? Which one did you use?

Good luck with the repair, and with the profile. If you don't like it, search the threads and pick out other ones compatible with your display.
