I always thought the PowerBook screen looked better than the ibooks. Well, I just bought an iBook and, after calibrating the scree via system preferences Display pane, I am impressed. I tested the new config by switching back and forth from default config to new config and I was amazed. Amazed at how bad the stock config looks in comparison. It is totally washed out. This new config has added yards of depth to the color and overall the screen is beautifully rich and colorful. I have my color sync custom config saved. I can email it if anybody wants it.

What did you use to do the color calibration?

I used OS X. Under Sys Pref's, click the Displays pane and then click on configuration for a new one. Apple gives you three stock ones (RGB LCD, RGB Generic...). You will be taken through a series of steps - about 5. Once your calibration is done, you save it i.e. "Holden's Display."

Oh I didn't realize OSX had a calibration system built in. (recent switcher used to installing extra software to handle that stuff, i.e. adobe gamma)

just calibrated my ibook, and the monitor attached via system preferences. Looks so much better now. One thing to note, if u are going to calibrate, use the expert/advanced mode. Otherwise its pretty pointless.

Good point! I forgot to mention that. Yes, yes, use advanced for the big 5 stepper.

First, that is a wacked out user name! Second, welcome! That is one thing you should get used to: few third party apps for this stuff. Explore.
