Hi everyone,
I've been trying to calibrate the screen on my new retina notebook but running into some difficulties.
I bought a spyder 4 pro and i1dsiplay pro to see which one resulted in better colors. I also downloaded the 15' late 2013 retina macbook pro ICC profile from notebookcheck (which was just recently uploaded) in which they used a $1500 calibrator.
I calibrated using the i1 pro and datacolor spyder and generated 2 ICC profiles via the included software, which gave me a grand total of 3 ICC profiles.
The problem is, they are ALL different. The i1display pro is slightly warmer and appears more yellow. the spyder 3 looks slightly magenta red, and the ICC profile from notebookcheck looks a tad blue. They are all similar looking, and the uncritical eye may not tell a difference, but there are slight variations.
Out of all of them, the notebook check ICC profile looks the best to me when looking at white levels and my dock, but I know I shouldn't trust my naked eyes. On the other hand, colors seems to be more vibrant and pleasing to my eye with the i1display pro, but almost to the point where they seem too vibrant.
What should I do? Any advice would be very much appreciated!
