My final calibration with Spyder 5 Pro in March 2016 where I set it to 6500 Kelvin and had the calibration software measure the screen to optimum brightness first. My calibration with Spyder 5 Pro in March 2016 run as auto calibration at 6500 Kelvin. My calibration with X-Rite 6500K auto calibration in March 2016 My calibration with X-Rite 7500K auto calibration in March 2016 The Pantone/X-Rite 6500K calibration I got in February 2016 with the old software under El Captain OS My calibration with X-Rite at 5400K auto calibration in March 2016. My calibration with Pantone/X-Rite at 6500K that I have been using for over a year. Look for the (white) background color of empty screen area to the right, the details of shadows in the pictures as well as overall contrast to get an idea of the differences.Īpple's default LCD screen from the factory. The only way to show this is by taking photos of the screen. Here are the different looks of the screen with different calibrations. In this photo, notice the shadow details (behind the man's face) missing on the un-calibrated screen. The tones of monochrom is very sensitive. If you thought it was only about colors, that's wrong. The left screen photo is a screen that is not calibrated. Mostly I trust my EIZO monitors which have self-calibration (you press a button and the screen calibrates itself using a built-in calibrator). Whenever I feel in doubt if my colors and calibration is right, I calibrate. Some progressional color labs calibrate their screen every day or almost as often.

If you don't calibrate, it may look great on your screen, but once others see the files on their screens, they look too hard, too warm or something. Once you calibrate your screen, you speak the same language as others with calibrated screens. Apple screens are generally good, but calibration makes them perfect. Usually, even the best screens increase in shadow details and overall tonality with calibration. But if you are in a hurry, just do that and be done. Read the rest of this article to know why and what the alternatives are. Spoiler alert: Buy the Spyder Pro calibratorīuy the Spyder Pro calibrator and use the Displa圜al software and be done.

The Displa圜al seems to be constantly updated with more precise tools when new screens, calibrators and all comes out. For me, it took 20-30 minutes (where the software did the calibration all by itself), I have heard from others it took between 30 mintes and all nigth. If you have a Spyder Pro or X-Rite calibrator, you may download the free 3rd part software Displa圜al (Formerly known as dispcalGUI). Spoiler alert: Displa圜al is the best software to use with your Spyder or X-Rite calibrator The main advantage you gain in calibrating a monitor is a broader dynamic range and that shadow details become better visible. It isn't always so I’ve made this guide with the purpose to make it as simple as possible.
