Just saying "...is not as rich as..." is not enough of a test. That is too subjective. Let me put it to you this way, both screens are glossy am I right? You didn't list down the specs nor model of your Vaio so I can't really compare here. Bear with me and my assumptions. I assume that the Vaio screens are even more glossy than the MacBook one's seeing as according to you, "they produce richer colours". Well more gloss = more glare. Again, I need more information on both systems. Oh, and if you look at the article it says that everyone's doing it so.... No big deal.

Callibrate your MB screen. It will look much better.

I would have to say both your arguments can't be held in total relation to colour reproduction. Glossiness of an LCD screen does not affect the colour reproduction as well as the glossier the more flare as it depends on the diffuser and the various layers on the LCD screen each laptop manufacturer might have.

When it comes to colour reproduction, each manufacturer will differ depending on which CCFL or LED supplier they will go for. Certain CCFL or LED's will have a different colour Gamut hence the various colour reproduction.

The various filters on the LCD (diffuser, polarizer, etc..etc..) will also determine how the image will turn up to the users (e.g. viewing angle, level of glare, etc...) also determines how the colour reproduction.

To have a good gauge, a comparison of the colour gamut from both these manufacturers would be able to determine a certain level of colour reproduction.

Hence we should all push for OLED monitors!

Yes. agree with u .. "it's not as rich as".. Again both screens are glossy. LCD screen got specs?? My VAIO model is VAIO FS. Im not sure if my vaio screen is more glossy then macbook.. to me both are equally glossy. The macbook screen color look like washed out. it produce more 'white color' when i increase the brightness.

What kind of information u need.. i tot it just LCD screens??

another info~

How do you calibrate the screen? Please PM me the instructions.

I also want to know

It's quite easy. Go into System Preferences > Displays > Color
There'll be a "wizard" to walk you through the calibration. The
important thing to set may be the gamma.

But I'm surprised the built in display would need calibration, unless
Apple has changed their way of doing things!

Mac gamma.

It's just something you have to live with, like it or not, Macbook's screen is lousy. It also bleeds at the edges.

Ermm..chopsuey has already given the instructions.

It bleeds? Hrmm have to scrutinise my screen closer..

i will leave the color calibration to dafault
cuz wanna get the accurate color

Accurate colour does not come from an uncalibrated screen mate

Hmm.. i do felt that my MB screens/color sux when i am using WinXP thru BootCamp ...

for me macbook screen is really good if compare to dell and toshiba lappie... currenly i have 1 toshiba A100 pro, macbookpro and dell 6400.. apple still the best among them!

you need a colour calibrator in order to calibrate your monitor

shite !!

Was planning to buy a macbook soon, but now i have my doubts

yea..if can..someone who haf multiple laptops . Please post up picture to prove us Macbook LCD is not impressive or vice versa.

^
totally agree. I need something to make me buy it, coz i really2 want a mac. And i dont have a laptop

sounds like u have a choice with a macbook with a better LCD screen ?

Conclusion~ the Macbook screen used 'cheap' LCD screen .
-The screen have poor/bad angle compare to sony vaio
-I wish apple could apply the sony vaio latest LCD screen to macbook
-And one more thing.. the screen will flicker when u press on button. damn annoying

anyway.. im still happy to be owner of white macbook .. only the screen display is the drawback
