I found that the profiles were very ugly on my MacBook Pro 17 " and nothing I did helped. The visual appearance was acceptable tot he untrained eye but matching it to another screen or printer was impossible. The main problem was the very critical viewing angle? If you wanted to ensure that two people saw the same thing you had to have a seat with a head-brace and safety belt and take turns in the chair. I tried numerous devices. In the end I just waited until I plugged in a decent monitor, which in my case is an Eizo.

I always found that ambient viewing conditions were VERY important when it came to achieving a visually satisfying result. If you are moving from one place to another the goal posts go out the window. I ended up using my laptop screen as extra real estate to park my tools and palettes.
