Hi all,
I 'calibrate' (in reality just profile) my MacBook Pro's (15", LED)
screen with a DTP-94, using Quato iColor software. I always leave the
white point setting in the software as "native', to have smooth LUTs
and to not loose any brightness. That means I always use the screen's
native white point which is somewhere between 6400 and 6200 K. It's a
bit colder what I would like to have, but the gamut is a bit wider
this way.
I also switched of the automatic brightness-control and set an
'agreement' on which brightness setting the display should be
calibrated: I always use maximum minus 2 steps, as this setting
proved to be enough for the general office environment in my practice.

Please check out the attached image which shows the gamut of the
MacBook Pro display in comparison to a Quato hardware calibrated
display. I think it tells everything about the performance of the
laptop's screen. Just don't make any critical judgements or edits on
an image using the MacBook's display.
I use the laptop screen only for mechanical cropping and editing; for
color work only in emergency.
As of the difference between the CCFL and LED backlight models, I
don't really see any serious thing to mention in color performance.
The difference lies in the power economy and the life span of the
display: the screen of my previous MacBook Pro (CCFL backlight)
showed the signs of aging after one year. I really hope the LEDs will
not fade this quickly.
Have a nice day!
Peter
