I downloaded a calibration from this thread and it has caused this funny effect on dialogue boxes - see the blocking of darker grey around the words?

If I change the colour profile back to default, it goes.

Yes, i have the same problem, and not just with this profile (which i love btw), but almost any profile i try, when a dialogue box comes up in itunes or any program, i see the different shading box around the 3 buttons. any way to get rid of this or another profile for my 17" hi-res glossy that won't have this problem? thanks.
 
If anyone has a good hardware-calibrated profile for the AUO screens, please post it - I have tried out a bunch of profiles, but have no idea which of them are the most accurate, so I'm just going with what feels right for now...
 
Does anyone have a good profile for the 9C82 display? Just got my new MBP and I'd like to find a good color profile.
 
I've profiled the MBP Penryn 9C83 display using the x-rite color display2 hardware and the coloreyes pro software. Included in the zip are six profiles:

MBA D65 18.icc (6500K white point, 1.8 gamma)
MBA D65 22.icc (6500K white point, 2.2 gamma)
MBA D65 L.icc (6500K white point, L* gamma)
MBA Native 18.icc (Native white point, 1.8 gamma)
MBA Native 22.icc (Native white point, 2.2 gamma)
MBA Native L.icc (Native white point, L* gamma)

Note L* is a gamma used by the coloreyes software that tries to retain the darker colors shown by the 1.8 gamma and the brighter colors shown by the 2.2 gamma. It works well at that but is overall less contrasty than the other gamma points.

My favorite and the one I'm using is the D65 1.8 gamma. But there should be something here for everyone. Note that there really isn't one right answer since what white point you use and gamma depends on your objective and the hardware profiled.

It was too large to upload the zip here, you can find the file at this link:

Does anyone have the MBProfiles.zip file? It appears the link is dead now.

Thanks
 
Guys,
I've been trying different color profiles for my 9c83 glossy screen. So far the best results are between MBA D65 22.icc (6500K white point, 2.2 gamma) and another one I downloaded from this thread that I'll post. If anyone cares to compare the two, I like to get your feedback.

For the 9C83 screen, I find this one to look the best.

I've tried all of the profiles in this thread; AbsenceOfTruth's profile is nearly perfect.

However, I think this one is definitely the best (very similar, but a dash of red tuned out -- LG matte).


Hi,

I'm new to this forum and I have a MBP 15" LED with multitouch and my display is a LG (9C81). The standard colour profile looks pretty washed out and so I tried searching on the internet for good profiles for my MBP and I have to say that this one is the best one so far you are right yet I still think it isn't perfect (at least not for me)

It is just very slightly too contrasty (and dark) - the colours are very nice though. When comparing it to the standard profile it really seems just a notch too dark.

Could anyone post this one again slightly brighter and less contrasty ?
Or if possible someone could also tell me how I could do it myself - I know I can calabrate the monitor in the system preferences yet when doing so I have to start from the start again and can't only slightly adjust the existing one, can I ?

Thanks in advance guys

PS: the profile I'm referring to is the one in post # 65.

System Preferences -> Displays -> Color -> Open Profile -> 13 -> Model

9C67 = LG
9C68 = Samsung

Mine says 00009C83

I just got this computer and am using it professionally.
I'm disappointed because my dell actually displays colors better.

I can't seem to find a color profile that works. I've downloaded all of the ones mentioned but the "really good" ones are very dark and red for me. I've calibrated but my bright colors appear dull.
 
Does anyone have a good profile for a Macbook with Samsung 9c5b monitor? I tried all the ones in this thread and they all make my whites look blue and webpages look like they have alot of moire.
Even the sRGB profile on the computer looks blue instead of white. The only profile that doesn't look bluish is the one that came with the computer.

Any ideas?I tried using supercal and it only got worse.
 
Hi,
I've just received my Spyder2 Express and calibrated my 9C68 (Samsung) MacBook Pro Santa Rosa 15,4'' matt display with ColorEyes Display Pro.

I like the result a lot, before that I lived with some profiles from this forum.
I attached the profile, maybe you like it

Anyone have a decent profile for the 9C82 screens?

Have an early 2008 MBP 15.4" and have been searching on and off for quite some time for a profile for a matt screen.

Would appreciate any links or hopefully someone can post their profile here.

Fingers crossed! :)

9c80 display

Hello!

I have the 9c80 display (LED-backlit, glossy, early 2008) in my MacBook Pro 15.4. The color profile that follows is really bad and very yellowish. I have found a couple of other that made the screen alot better but they are for other screens. I would really like to know if someone has got a color profile calibrated for the 9c80 display? I would really love to get me hand on one!

Cheers.
 
My contribution, created using Apple's in built tool. This IMHO is roughly what OS X should look like on a display...compared with a 20" ACD

Samsung 206BW Profile? (iMac 24")

I've tried about 100 profiles and nothing can match my iMac's screen. I've tried the ColorSync Calibration about 100 times as well...worse. I've even used screen calibration hardware.

My objective is to match my iMac, not print.

Does anyone have a profile or two for the:

Samsung 206BW monitor, run with iMac 24"?

Or any tips?

Thanks.:cool:
 
That was how they looked on my MBP, Some were either too pink, or too purple.

For the record, I believe a lot of the red/purple ones are correct. I hardware calibrated mine and it was red on a 9c81. but after a few days it looked perfect, and the regular one was way too green (the backlights are slightly blue-green). I then changed my screen, and got a 9c83. My old profile was way off, so I recalibrated - it seems purple to other people, but it actually looks pretty good to me.

I think they make it very green to start off with because it is closer to what people perceive as 'warm'. The vertical viewing angles on the MBP screens change colour noticeably when they are not set to green Check out the reflection off your keyboard - it looks white, but is actually green. My reflection is purple.
