PureEdit Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 IMO most of the mac screens look terrible until u run colorsync profile in display preferences. I usually do it to the ones in the stores on demo - i cant help myself. They look so whitewashed! :p Wow, I cant belive I used the defualt for more then a year. My LCD looks a lot better now.

Fusion Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 IMO most of the mac screens look terrible until u run colorsync profile in display preferences. I usually do it to the ones in the stores on demo - i cant help myself. They look so whitewashed! :p Apple's clients mainly include media professionals, including video, print and web editing/design. Apple has a reputation of having one of the best color-correctness in the business. Although, most companies are there now, Apple still holds the reputation. Every screen from Apple comes with a custom designed profile just for that screen. 99 percent of the time they are near perfect color correctness. There is the rare occasion when color can be slightly off (as in the case of my old 12" powerbook) but even in those cases, utilities like color sync do little good. They depend on the human eye, which from the start is flawed in the way you see color being as every human eye is completley different. Also, many other things come into play such as viewing angle and distance from the screen. I gaurantee you that Apple's default profiles are 500 percent more correct then anything your eye could pull out of color sync. My guess is that you have been used to another screen, whether it be a CRT on a mac or a screen on a PC that has trained your eye to see one thing and now that you are seeing soemthing different, your mind pictures it as wrong. If you still feel the need to change the color just for your own personal preference, go ahead, but there is no need to do it on public computers. The color is correct. Also, don't forget that you are probably used to seeing an output of gamma at 1.8 on a PC when Macs run at 2.2 IIRC. They are not whitewashed.

mrelusive978 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Actually, it is due to having people bring their computers over here to game with me...I haven't gotten the upstairs rooms deep-cleaned on the carpets yet.

Chad Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Since we already have a thread with setup pics, I'm moving it there. Also, if you could make the images a little smaller, it would be appreciated. I use a larger than normal resolution, and I have to scroll to see the whole pic.

Chad Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Thanks man. You're right, it was 1024x768, but that is still a bit too large. It's been changed to 800x600 now. I think most shouldn't have any problems with that size.

I'd probably make them buy me a new one... flaws = bad... Also, I'd invest in a few newer monitors, all that CRT-ness would make me go NUTS... I can't stand computer labs, I don't think I could survive your room. Although I bet it's nice and toasty in the winter!

Although I bet it's nice and toasty in the winter! :ninja: The b****ing has already commenced lol :ninja: The thing is, I can get a 20" CRT for $20 US in kansas City, whereas an LCD is over a thousand...LOL I spent all my $$ on my G5 and the 9800 Pro 256MB...and for gaming, a CRT cannot be beaten for image clarity and color, not to mention refresh rates. I also have the added bonus of having a display originally intended for scientific research...it's made by Spectra Physics Analytical, originally meant for visualizing long data graphs at high densities, so it is a good deal wider than it is tall, giving it a widescreen size. As for the heat...well, ever hear of central air LOL? And as for being in a lab...how else we gonna game LOL?
