p.1 #1 · Calibrating a macbook pro monitor


Can anyone tell me what they use to calibrate their macbook pros? I have been using a Spyder 2 for years on my external monitors and t worked great. However, it is not working on my mackbook pro, especially in regards to brightness. I have the automatic dimmer turned off but it doesn't help.

Is it because the macbook does not have individual RGB controls?

What do you guys use?

Thanks

I use Eye-one Display2 to calibrate my 15" 2.4GHz LED-backlight Display Macbook pro, result's pretty good to my eyes compared with disktop monitor.

Also have a look at RG's site regarding the Macbook pro display's calibration, very helpful info there, especially the suggestion of turning the brightness to the maxium when calibrating the RGB etc,

I have one of the newer Spyder 3 Elites and it calibrated my 17" MBP (not LED) just fine.

Yeah, I turned my brightness all the way up, but it didn't help. My pictures ended up way underexposed. Right now it is calibrated, but I can't trust whay I am seeing and having to rely solely on my histogram.

Thanks guys.
