I have a 20″ Apple Cinema Display (ACD) purchased (actually received as a gift but never mind that) around 2003 and a MacBook Pro 15″ (MBP) purchased around 2006. Both of them has been calibrated using Eye-One Display 2 with 6500k white point, 2.2 Gamma, and 120 lum (+/- a little). For some reason, the colors on ACD appear to be over saturated particularly yellow and red while the MBP is a lot more natural. If the images look “right” on the ACD, they are flat on the MBP (and monitors/LCDs attached to PCs). When the images look right on everything else the ACD bleeds yellow and red, and appear too dark.
What gives?! I wonder if I can use a slighly cooler white point to achieve a correct display?!
Update 04/16/2009: Several posting in an Apple forum said that closing the MBP screen will produce better result. I tried it with only ok result — color saturation is better but still not completely satisfied.
