Monitor Calibration on my Macbook

[BenWall]

Hey, I've done a search and not really found what I'm after. So here it is..

I like to edit photos, but I've never been confident in doing this on my Macbook, as I edit them and then on another display they always look different and over exposed.

Is it just a bad screen for colour accuracy or is it the calibration? What's the best way to sort this?

Thanks

- Ben

Ironically, that is one of the biggest issues talked about on this forum.

The Macbook essentially has a crappy screen as compared to the Macbook Pro and the Air.

I think the general opinion throughout the many threads on this is pretty much the same : the screens are terrible.
