Från: Rossen Pandev 21 Juli 2017 / 00:10 0

As expected, the MacBook Pro 15 has a nearly flawless display with just small amount of drawbacks to consider but if you are planning to do some color-sensitive work or you just want to get rid of the negative blue light emissions, our custom profiles will make sure you get the best possible experience out of this panel. The profile packages contain the usual Office work, Design & Gaming and Health-Guard profiles, each of which will improve the overall image quality in certain aspects. You can read more about them here and how to use them. We also suggest reading our dedicated article regarding blue light emissions and PWM and how our custom Health-Guard profile reduces Blue Light’s impact and eliminates the harmful PWM.

The Apple MacBook Pro 15 has a “Retina” IPS panel with 100% sRGB color gamut coverage and 97% of the DCI-P3 color space, very high contrast ratio (1300:1), exceptionally high maximum brightness (519 cd/m2) but slightly colder than usual color temperature – 6800K.

Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for the MacBook Pro 15 with 15.4″ panel manufactured an unusual 2880 x 1800 resolution and the machine can be found at Amazon.com: Apple MacBook Pro 15.

NOTE: You need to place the ICC color profile in the Library/ColorSync/Profiles in your home directory. Then the ColorSync Utility will recognize the profiles and can be activated.

Kontorsarbete

Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar större delen av tiden med att titta på text, tabeller eller bara surfar. Denna profil syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och skärpa genom att bibehålla en platt gammakurva (2.20), native färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.

Design och Spel

Denna profil riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, samt för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpanelerna till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminerar den skadliga pulsbreddsmoduleringen (PWM) och minskar det negativa blå ljuset som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskar avsevärt.

This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. “Design and Gaming” takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

It also regulates the first steps out of black so you can have even faster reflexes when playing in dark virtual environments…or just see everything in the darkest scenes in movies.

As for the Health-Guard profile, it reduces the blue light impact and eliminates the PWM. But since the panel doesn’t use PWM, this profile will only be useful for the blue light emissions.

Pro Tip: As the Health-Guard profile simulates paper and has as accurate as possible colors, it could be a great tool for prepress designers!
