Hello guys, Do you calibrate your monitor?? and how do you calibrate it? I found that image produce after editing in my macbook is different compared to other windows laptop, where in windows laptop image appear a bit washed out and less contrast. What gamma setting do you use? 1.8 or 2.2??

Thank you

Try this advice online. Maybe it might help. Calibrate Macbook Display

depend on screen quality,colour producing,panel,screen type.
matt display,low resolution with low dpi,below 1080p monitor is needless to do it.
unless the screen is beyond 1080p or 4k resolution with high dpi, 8-bit/10-bit colour display and above only calibrate.

bear in mind that there are so many laptop screens out there, the outcome varies.

laptops with good display panel should match your Macbook quite easily.

Differ panel gives differ result,

dell panel quite good

thanks for ur link bro!

wow really bro? i thought even normal laptop need to calibrate to get accurate colour for photo editing

i found that ipad and iphone produce almost similar colour and contrast too! haha

i heard that too! they produce good and accurate colour display, i wish i got money to buy one, lol

i use datacolor spyder 4 elite to calibrate. really different outcome of photo editing if compared to my before calibrated monitor and after calibrated monitor. makes my print more true to the color of my screen.

because it's exactly as what I (and others) mentioned, the display panel.

iPad uses IPS panel too, not sure about iPhone but Apple does make things consistently.

oh and Dell monitor isn't expensive, set a budget of RM 700 or so and you can get good stuff already.

lol,did you know everybody eye sight are different even the color.
so make it fit to your eye sight is enough

i had to calibrate else my wallpaper will look very colorful across my monitors



i mean its for your own pleasure, at least when you see the photo across diff platform/lcd/crt/ipad/iphone/androids(yes, spyder has app for ios/android for calibration), it doesnt run that much.

I'm currently using this model: Samsung S27B970D

comes factory calibrated with factory calibration sheet.

everytime the monitor starts up, it will self calibrate. lol pretty awesome.

2560x1440 resolution on a 27inch monitor, with glossy screen and touch sensitive controls. as good as the Apple thunderbolt display.

Dell UltraSharp monitors come pre-calibrated in the factory and the monitor will have a color calibration factory report
The monitor is pre-tuned sRGB with average Delta-E (dE) <5
