    Saw your link via the RefocusPhoenix email list. Apple itself recommends going with a 2.2 gamma and D65 white point if you design web graphics (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2026?viewlocale=en_US). Trying that removed the blue color cast but made my grays look a bit muddy/brown. I tried your MacBook Pro 2.4GHz LCD profile and for my machine it does remove the blue cast but preserves black & gray, so I think I’ll roll with it for awhile. Thanks!

    You bring up a good point which I will update on this page. All these profiles target a 2.2 gamma and D65 white under florescent lighting.

    I have been going on a calibration rage myself lately but haven’t busted out the cash to get some hardware for it. This definitely modified my eyeball approach on my MacBook Pro and it’s probably more accurate (I have a _horrible_ I for colors). Thanks for the color profile, I think it’s helped quite a bit.

    eh… blog errored on initial comment so this one will be short. Thanks for the color profile – I think my macbook looks way better now!

    Trying out “MacBook Pro 2GHz (Spyder2Pro).icc”. Thanks. Might want to also note the LCD make (CCFL vs LED). I’m pressuming the one I took is for CCFL =)

    Oh it should be if its “old”. The 2.4GHz ones are LED I’m presuming since I have a 2.33GHz MBPro which was supposedly 2nd-gen/v2, before the LED-based ones. HTH

    I have the dreaded Dell E248WFP, and I used your icc file, and, well, it still looked like crap, until I was in the menu (the monitor interface) where you adjust the rgb, and I notices an “srgb” setting. I clicked that and presto! Looks much, much better. Maybe I’m supposed to know that or something, but when you do a factory reset it doesn’t turn this on. Wierd.

    maybe you have the new Unibody laptops? All DVI external monitors will render wrong colors on the new Unibody macs. Apple doesn’t tell you before you buy, but many designers are stuck with this unusable computer.
