Ange Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 G'day Damian, Just about to calibrate my my Imac 27 inch, is this correct that it is "White LED" selection for the display? Cheers Retina 5K display 27-inch (diagonal) Retina 5K display 5120‑by‑2880 resolution with support for 1 billion colours 500 nits brightness Wide colour (P3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I don't know, sorry. White LED seems most likely, but RGB LED is also possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ange Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Apple have said that from the options listed in your Calibration instructions for the X-Rite - That any of the new 4K and 5K retina models are a Wide Colour Gamutt P3. White LED ( Backlit) will be for printing and graphics as they produce a better colour reproduction. RGB Display is OLED and is used for watching movies as they have a high contrast ratio. So based on this I am going to select the Wide Gamut CCFL option....as the Technology Type menu (5). CCFL: This basically means ” not LED”. Most older LCD screens will be CCFL, but newer ones are likely to be LED instead. Wide Gamut CCFL: If you bought a wide-gamut screen, you’ll remember, because your wallet is probably still hurting. Most laptop and Mac screens are normal gamut, but check your paperwork if you’re not sure.(Please don’t mix up wide gamut with wide format. Wide format screens are … y’know, wide. 16:9 shape, or whatever. “Wide Gamut” refers to the range of colours they can show. If the salesman boasted to you about a “110% gamut” or “Adobe RGB gamut” screen, it means wide-gamut.) White LED: This is the most common type of modern screens. If you know your screen is LED, it’s almost certainly white LED. RGB LED: RGB LED screens are still pretty expensive and rare. If you’ve paid top dollar for one of these, you probably won’t be using the ColorMunki to calibrate it, to be honest. Projector: This tutorial doesn’t cover projector calibration, sorry.

Ange Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 I have just discovered that this Mac has a built in Calibration option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 For use with your X-Rite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissalile Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ange, did you use the build in calibration option? If so, what is your display profile set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
