I would assume, academically speaking of course, the MacBook Pro 8,3 17inch non-glare displays could visually match
the NEC PA 271i, sort of, according to Roger.
One issue is density. However, what is to be done with RG and B?
I would like more suggestions on this.
I have tried for years to have my MacBook Pro's 4,1 and my two 8,3's get close in color, RGB. I have never succeeded. Density, yes. I use a solid medium gray
for background on all displays. When it comes to the colors, I quit. As I wrote, I have been doing this exercise for years…since 2008.
My fantasy would be the two types of displays could match. Who else has this fantasy?
Kind of reminds me of when ColorEyes Pro was available. What I misunderstood was ColorEyes Pro can not profile any monitor to match a high
end NEC PA 271w. In my amusing way, I was relating this to an antenna tuner. The antenna tuner could tune bedsprings for transmission and
reception. Oh well. I am always learning.
Thanks all.
