Yesterday, I tried to calibrate (again) my display with the EyeOne probe. I tried all options and features available, even playing with color temperature, gamma value and brightness. I could not get a proper white rendering, depending on the calibration I obtained a bluish, greenish or dirty pinkish rendering. By using the "simple" mode I could get true black and white rendering, but then browsing through pages of a document, the text in black was greenish...Both monitor profiles are available here:
The last monitor profile by EyeOne Pro is 19-06-07_3.icc, the one provided by Monaco is Monaco22-natif.icc (leading to a rather pinkish rendering, but maybe the best for everyday usage).
Last but not least, when discussing with Apple Support about the problem, they confirm that LED-backlighted LCD panels have a yellowish rendering. So far no solution... I would have tried to exchange my MacBook Pro for a new one, but there was no more in stock
When talking to a Tech support from Apple, he told me that the increased shipping time for the MacBook Pro is directly linked to a problem with LED-backlighted panels needing to be replaced... so one could expect the strong yellowish rendering is now history, but a light yellowish rendering will remain as it is part of the technology (delivering warmer color than the standard LCD).Shipping time for the 15" MacBook Pro moved from 3-5 days to 7 days.
