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:

great LG display replaced with 9C6D Chi Mei--help!

hello everyone.

from July 07 up to last week, my MBP had an excellent matte LG display that had very uniform color distribution. unfortunately, the layers of the display began to separate from each other, so I took it into the genius bar. (just in under the wire for applecare!)

unfortunately, when I got my new display back the next day, I was horrified to discover that my screen was replaced with a matte 9C6D Chi Mei display that looks vaguely washed out--and most notably--is *really* blue. there's a blue cast to everything, and although I'm not sure the average user would notice it, I see it every time I look at the screen, no matter how I try to calibrate it. it's making me crazy.

before I take it back to the apple store, I wanted to ask first if anyone had a profile they calibrated specifically for a 9C6D display. (I saw someone ask for one a few pages back in this thread, but nobody responded.) I just want to make sure that it's really the display and not me before I try to explain myself to the geniuses.

thanks a lot. I really hope someone's got something.

PS: also, if anyone has any further information about the 9C6D display, please let me know. do they have problems in general? has anyone else seen one?
