I have a base 13" MBP with 9CC3 panel. Looks awesome. It's SUPER bright. I can't use it with brightness on at full....especially coming from a 4 year old HP!
Got a tip for us?

Oh i would've definitely not minded a higher res screen. Helps me fit more on the screen when i'm doing work. Plus Hi-Def content looks SUPER sexy!
I've got a 9CC7 too and it looks good to me.
Previously had a high res matte 15" haha. Sold it though because I'm going to Europe and need funds and portability. This screen is fine by my eyes.

9CC7 here too
black seems fine
colors are less vivid than previous MBP13
but anyway, after a calibration, i'm sure the screen would great
it is the case for all panels
calibrated profiles !!

Neither A nor B happened for the low-end iMac (20"/21.5"), still it got an IPS last fall.
we have to wait for people using calibration probes with their new MBP
too soon for the moment
I got a LTN133AT09, 9CC7, a samsung panel.
I think it's worse than the panel of my mid 2009 mbp 13" (unfortunately I don't know which model) & I'm gutted. It's less bright, less responsive, worser in view angles & a little bit yellowish.
The worse response time is the thing I dislike most. Did you check this tests?
Here I get this results http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/response_time.php
A0, B -25, C -60, E -25, F -10, G +60, H +60.
And inversion (pixel walk) test: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/inversion.php#invpattern
here the patterns 2b & 4b are flickering.
For instant the writing of this page is flickering a bit when scrolling http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490?viewlocale=en_US
I think thats not exactable with a pro model...
what about your LG-Philips-Panels or the Panels of the MBP 13" Mid 2009; are they better in response time & inversion?

Welcome to Samsung.
Everytime I put an LG panel into a machine that had a Samsung, it looks blue, which requires calibration. Grr.
Hopefully someone here can come up with a good calibration for these panels...
Unfortunately I don't know enough to be able to calibrate these screens

9CC7 Color Profiles
I have attached 2 Color Profiles (.icc) for the 9CC7 screen.
My main reason to do so was because I sold my MBP13 with a 9CC5 screen and bought a new one so I could opt in for the Back to School campain and I received a MBP13 with a 9CC7 screen.
The standard Color Profile of the 9CC7 is a bit yellowish and from what I can tell it looks like the 9CC5 has more brightness and is more 'black' than the 9CC7. I have to mentioned I used the 9CC5 UNCALIBRATED.
Anyway I sold the 9CC5 to a friend so I could check out the difference between his 9CC5 and my 9CC7.
I don't have much experience with calibrating but I have put quite some effort in getting it right (my eyes did hurt a bit lol). The v1.icc is the first calibration I have ever made (hence I just bought my first Mac) and is a bit darker than the v2 Color Profile.
Anyway I hope it has any use, I would like to know which one YOU think is better btw

I got the 9CC3 2.4GHz base model 13" with the nvidia 320m! The colors are vivid and the blacks are super deep! I didnt even need to calibrate it either!

Mine is a 9CC9, anyone else got this?
What are you finding?
Mine seems beautiful, vibrant and defined.

I have compared the 9CC5 vs the 9CC7 and yes the 9CC5 has more darker black, but nothing that extraordinary. I couldn't notice much difference between them if I had to compare the viewing angles and the vibrancy (is that a word? ) of the colours. I could say the same for the brightness, I haven't seen that much difference between them.
So the way I see it both are very nice screens, with the 9CC5 having darker black levels. And you discuss about how good it is to have darker black levels because that equals more reflections (aka mirror effect) along with the glossy screen.
One note though, my 9CC7 is calibrated and the 9CC5 isn't.
