Post your *Good* SR MBP Color Profiles here

graf said:
I've calibrated my 9C81 Penryn 15" matte display, with the Spyder 2 Express. The profiles are attached, using version 2.2 (which I believe uses the native whitepoint of the display) and 2.3 (which uses 6500K). I prefer the native one, but ymmv.

With the 2.2 native white balance, my LG 9c81 looks uniformly warmish in its whites - some might say yellowish. If I use the 6500k one, the lower part of the display is slightly yellow. I think that if people really try a profile with a neutral white (the 6500k versions), many will discover that their displays have the infamous lower 1/3 yellowing white issue. The native white 2.2 masks the problem....until you see another display with true whites and you realise that your MBP display is yellow all over!

Thanks for the effort!

Dude... Im sory but you are wrong. You are seeing what you want to see. The NATIVE 2.2 MASKS the problem?? Correct me if i am wrong, but I have the same 09c81 LG panel and would I not WANT to use the color profile with NATIVE gamma for the panel?

My whites do not look yellow.... the disply looks great with this profile.

Don't be sorry. Let me be sorry because you're wrong. The native white point on these displays us yellowish and off -white. You may not see it but if you compare it side by side with a good LCD you too will see that what you thought was white is actually not. If you want to check - just try the profile done by somebody earlier in this thread with spyder express. One of his profiles is calibrated to 6500k while the other is native. If you try both right after each other you'll see what i'm saying .
 
I spent some time calibrating my 9C81 with SuperCal. Give it a try and let me know what you think. I think everything looks pretty natural and a bit less yellow.

I've just completed calibrating my 15" Penryn MacBook Pro with the 9C81 (matte) display. I used an eye-one to calibrate it.

How do you find out which display you have? I don't see it in system profiler

go to System Preferences, then go to Displays

click on the Color tab

make sure a profile (any one) is selected, and click Open Profile

scroll to #13 'mmod'

your screen is listed under Model:

Just wanted to add that you actually need to choose the default ColorLCD profile to find out the monitor model....
 
My profile after Huey calibration

Attached is my profile after using Huey for calibration. For those who don't know, Huey is a USB-based hardware calibration utility (new I think and in Apple stores).

I have a MBP with a glossy LG panel. There is a huge difference between the default and the calibrated value.

sorry, could someone remind me again what to do with the file once i unzip it?

i just got my MBP back again and this may sound noobish, but where on earth did by colorsync folder go? my last one has a colorsync folder in the library but now all i have is colorpicker and that does nothing. Lol now i dont know how to use these profiles again.

my new one is a 9C80 definetly the best one ive had in regards to yellow, if its there i cant tell.

Sounds like you are looking in /System/Library. You want to go to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles.

If there is nothing in /Library other than ColorPickers then your system is messed up. By default there should not even be a /Library/ColorPickers, only a /System/Library/ColorPickers. Something is seriously wrong.

Open Terminal and type:

cd /Library
ls -al

What does it say?
 
This is what I use. I guess its for people finding the spider 2.2 too dark.
I have screen 9C81
