I WAS surprised. The Mac version of the software is totally lacking in customization options. My only resort is to use the manual brightness control and eyeball the screen level. I usually set my Apple displays to 120 (for LCDs).
Using Spectraview ith a Mac, as I see it, I have only the three canned programs that I mentioned - no way to do a custom setup.
Very disappointing. Given the high percentage of Macs in the visual/graphics/photography fields, I would have thought that NEC would have programs for Macs.
