Hi Alessandro
Are you profiling to native white point or are you using any other
target in white point.
I have profiled several laptops although not any of the leds and have
always returned to using native mainly since it is the white point I
prefer to work with but also that usually they dont have the quality/
capacity to use any other WP without falling into the ugly magenta
cast when being "forced" into another WP.
I hope my limited knowledge can help you somehow.

Hi,
I have changed my laptop recently and I have troubles in calibrating
the
monitor properly.
It's one of the new Apple Macbooks (Aluminum) with led-backlit 13"
glossy
display (the matte one is not available anymore - unfortunately).
In the past two years I've always used an Xrite i1Display 2 to
calibrate my
monitors and it performs nicely on other pieces of equipment.
The problem is that with the new Macbook there is a big red shift in
the
calibration, meaning that all colours are more reddish in the end
and it's a
strong, very perceivable, difference.
So, I am trying to find a way to calibrate this monitor as
accurately as
possible for printing purposes (I always print in a professional lab
with
their profiles, so I don't need to worry about printer profiling). I
was
wondering whether I'd need a spectrophotometer (like the i1Pro -
i1Basic) to
do the job, or a colorimeter suited for led displays like the
Spyder3elite
would do a better job.
What has been your experience so far? Any advices?
