Post your SR MacBook Color Profiles

[chris57]

Make sure that "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked.

It is! This is really bugging me. I even rebooted. Why isn't it showing up?

Aggg, can anyone help me? The default calibration is driving me mad!

Ok, I think I've finally gotten a perfect Color Profile, I compared it to my PC's LCD Monitor, and the colors are almost the same.

Can you also please make a 1.8 gamma version of this profile? I would like to see how that would look like. Thank you.

Same problem, what IS the name of the profile in the list, if it isn't "David's Color Profile"?

The name of David's perfect profile in the list is "Seems good 2"...Note, this is last years models.

Too dark on my screen. Thanks for the try though.

I can never go back to using the default profile on my MacBook.

Much more yellow than the current one that I use.

Eidorian, what display panel do you use? 9C5E?

I forgot how to pull the vendor codes for displays under OS X. I know how to do it in Windows.

This is a Santa Rosa MacBook thread BTW.

I'm not happy. My MacBook had an LG Phillips display (9C5F), but while it was at the Apple Store having the hinge fixed, they managed to crack the LCD. Of course they replaced it, but with a Samsung display (9C5B).

So it has pretty much gone from the best one to the worst one... The colours with the default profile are worse, but the main annoyance is the much more obvious dithering.

I forgot how to pull the vendor codes for displays under OS X.

System Preferences - Displays - Color - Color LCD - Open Profile

Scroll down to row #13 - 'mmod'

You can read Manufacturer and Model.

EDIT: nvm

 

[Eidorian]

Thanks Tom B.. I have a 9C5F in my MacBook.

9C5F/5F9C - LG Philips LP133WX1

The screen in my SR Macbook is terrible. Changing the gamma to 2.2 and upping the contrast a couple of notches helped.

 

[marbles]

Thanks Tom B.. I have a 9C5F in my MacBook.

I've a 9C5F in mine, have you come across any good profiles yet ?

 

[Snadoozle]

The perfect colour profile!

On creating this profile from scratch it has been made to look as similar as it can be to the led screens on the pro's.

Others i have found to be too blue, washed out etc.. or just odd.

THIS IS FOR THE OLD MACBOOKS NOT THE ALUMINUM ONES
