Apple Display and Calibration

[Michelle Pena]

Sorry, not sure where to post this in the Apple or calibration section. Does anyone here edit with an Apple Display Pro ? Been having issues with prints being dull and dark.

I use a Colorchecker Display Pro. Prints not matching, they are either too warm or too cool on either setting. 

 

These are the settings I have tried so far.. Can there be a D60 lol!! Lum 60 is the most it can do. 80 lum is too bright.

1) Native and 60 lum- too cool

2) D65 and 60 lum - too cool

3) D55 and 60 lum- way too warm- hard to see colors and brightness at this setting 

4)D50 and 60 lum- still too warm but better

 

Does anyone have issues like this with their Apple Display? Should I purchase another non-Apple screen that I cannot afford for the Mac Mini?

 

Thanks for any help.

Are you sure the light in your room is bright and white enough?  Room lighting is the #1 cause of non-matching.

You are the 1st person that has asked about the Apple Display Pro XDR, and unfortunately...I don't have any real experience with it.   

I know the default White Point is D65, according to Apple, but I find that too cool. Personally, I'm using D55 on My 27" iMac and it matches my prints very well. I will say this...if you have the option to choose which Display Panel Type in your Calibration Software, look for GB-LED. If you choose the wrong one, you will get weird...and usually frustrating, results.

It's always been the same. I've not changed anything in a few years. LIght bulbs are white 6500k

I have the regular Apple Display, not the XDR, but it doesn't matter though lol Yes, it's too cool at d65 but it's so easy on the eyes and to edit .With the d50 setting, it's so warm and dull, it's hard to edit on this; everything looks hazy. I'll try the GB-LED option! Maybe that will help some.
