i just bought a new macbook pro with 2,2ghz, 4gb ram, 15" matte lcd screen and a
250 gb samsung hd. what i found is this:
for some reason my lacie colormeter dont see the lcd monitor colors correct. it reads them by far to green and so the calibration results are with a magenta tint.
after many comparisions with my eizos i found out that
if i calibrate the screen with a 10m Magenta (lee) filter, the results are acceptable. Luminance has to be corrected about 20 for the light fall of through the filter, so adjusting the monitor with a setting of 60L and 7000K result in a final luminance of 80 and a final temp of 6300K with acceptable grey balance.
has anybody an idea why the lcd screen is not interpretated well by the lacie claibration tool,- the pb g4 can be adjusted very good with the same tool and program.
i was readng that mac uses two different monitor manufactors in the 15". i would like to know which montior i have in mine .... is there a way to find it out? maybe i have the "bad" one,- at least i really cant understand how people may like this new lcd screens very much.... the gammut is narrow ( way less than sRGB ) and by far not as good as the pb g4 monitor ( which reach nearly the full sRGB colors ) , the angle change very much the colors.
also i made a mistake to build in the 250gb drive. saving big files and ps ( cs3 ) becomes so slow.... i will change it again.
further the powerbok has some strange noise, very low level but very uncomfortable in a silent environment, similar as the first serial of the mb-pro last year. the noise has nothing to do with the fan, its a seperate noise,- i hate it.
at all i am disappointed by the new macbook.
