As a photographer, I know that my MB screen isn't AWESOME color accuracy wise. That said, between my external and MB, there is a HUGE difference that I can't wipe out in the (even advanced) color calibrater OS X has... I searched, and people discussed downloading caalibration profiles, but all the links were dead by now...
Anyway, I know my external is darn clse to callibrated, and I just can't get my LCD MB to match it...
Any help?

I've been having some of the same issues as you, the Mac OS X operating system by default loads the color calibration at 1.8 Gamma, it makes colors and overall everything look alot brighter and less vibrant. Windows and other mainframe websites and even movies use 2.2 Gamma this is used alot more frequently and its something that every Mac user should change there viewing to, you can do so by opening System Preferences and following the steps below:
- System Preferences
- Displays
- Color
- Calibrate> Continue> 2.2 Television Gamma
Hopefully that should help you out!

This is one of the first things I do when I get a new Mac. Take your time with it, and maybe redo it a few times to get it perfect. It kind of takes practice.

Apple definitely changes to different LCD panels in the various MacBooks. So, any particular display calibration profile may not actually work for your MacBook. I have two MacBook displays which I keep calibrated to D65 with gamma 2.5 using a Gretag MacBeth EyeOne spectrophotometer. One is a first generation, the other is a core2duo. If you look at the profiles using the Colorsync profile utility, you can see that the two panels have different gamuts.
For a limited time, you can get my two profiles at

Hopefully, one is close enough to your particular panel to be of use. The best is of course to have an actual hardware based calibration done on your own MacBook.
