During calibration of the dell monitor, it made me turn the target brightness down about 50%. I could never make up my mind if the dell was a touch warm, or just seemed so next to the mbp.

Prior to calibration, i thought the mac looked just a touch on the cool side. For my first test, i calibrated the macbook’s screen an a 4k external dell monitor that i love.

I was leery at first since the software isn’t fully ‘retina compatible’ – works fine, but isn’t at the retina resolution – which is just lazy software developers and lack of maintenance. The negative reviews didn’t usually say if they were mac or windows. Contrary to what some have reported, i had no issues with the software on my macbook pro. Although close, there was still some differences but again, not too bad.įor my ‘1st-hour’ review, i’m going to give it 4 stars, and then see if anything changes after i live with it for a while. I then decided to test how close all the screens were to being equal by testing each screen with a test digital photo. I felt it did a real nice job with the screens i calibrated.
Calibrated all using the datacolor software and was quite happy with the results. Well, it looked different on every screen and only looked good on the computer screen that i had used to edit and upload pictures for printing. I had a copy of one of the digital photos that i had sent to be printed and decided to check it on all of the screens. Low contrast, low brightness and just terrible. I started this venture when i sent in photos to be printed out in a photo book and the pictures came out horribly. I have two desktops and two laptops at my home. I’m sticking with the spider software over the displaycalc. Everything seemed to look just how it should.
This time, however, it allowed me to set the color temp (it didn’t the first time) and this time the results seemed good to me. It said it was off so i ran the spider software again. While running the displaycalc calibration results on the monitor, i ran the spider again to only to recheck the calibration. The displaycalc result seemed less saturated than it should be and the spider software seemed too red. From what i read that seems to be expected, except how do you know which one is right or if either of them are right?. I ran the spider software and the displaycalc software getting a different result both times.
