My take on it is that the ColorSync monitors calibrate themselves
pretty well they just don't build good profiles of themselves. I
struggled with quite a few of them until I figured this out.
So if you let the monitor calibrate itself and then use a quality
instrument to profile it you get a good result. The benefit is you
have a self-calibrating device that will keep itself in check longer
than a normal monitor and will require reprofiling less often. If
only printers would do this too!
Steve,
It sounds like a good plan, but how do you go about it? In order to
create a profile with a colorimeter, don't you have to calibrate it
with the same colorimeter first? And if that calibration is on top of
the Colorsync calibration you're back in the catch 22 about how to
disable the colorsync calibration. Can you give a step by step on
this?
Thanks.
