Ok here's my advice, I would start with GB-LED. If it works well then stick with it. If not then try White LED. You can verify if this works well by looking at the RGB tracking graph in the report screen after the calibration, if RGB lines looks like they are almost overlapping each other, that is a good result. There my diverge away from each other at the beginning and end that is normal. However, if they are not overlapping at all, then I would choose another backlight type. Hope this help.
@@ArtIsRight Do you recommend white LED as the backlight type? Just making sure because I noticed the studio display was GB-LED. I can't seem to find information anywhere online about which type the M1 iMac actually uses.
Hi Art! I use Calibrite to calibrate my M1 MacBook screen. I could not have done this without you! It took me no time, because I could follow your video. Thank you so much for your content!
great video. if we have the i1display pro/ColorChecker Display Pro and accept not to get full gamut, which display type would we use: White LED or PFS Phosphor?
MB Air with Delta >3: Thanks for this tutorial! Purchased a Calibrite Display Pro HL last week and ran some tests. The MacBook Air M2 2022 display gives me a patch average delta of 3.4. Calibrating a Samsung ViewFinity resulted in much better delta (around 2). Any idea what went wrong? Thanks in advance!
I managed to calibrate my iMac 5K M1 24'' with Xrite Calibrate Display Pro HL with your guide and to be honest it's way too dark for me when set to 120. Is it really bad if I rise brigtness to around 300 and work with editing photos?
Excellent tutorial! Congrats, really appreciated. I have an old MacBook 13” (2017) and an external 27” Dell monitor, serial U2520D, for photoediting with dedicated software (mostly lightroom). Do you think that I may use the Calibrite HL, properly connected, to calibrate the external monitor as well? Or does it work only on Mac monitors? should I resort to different devices? Thank you for your time
I would choose the new Calibrite Display Pro HL or Display Plus HL, these are going to be the best device that you can get and they are future proof as well should you get a Mac with mini LED display
Per your advice, I ordered the Pro HL version through your link. For the M1 24" iMac, it appears from previous posts that you recommend the GB-LED setting or the White KED setting (in that order) - is that still true? Thanks again for your help!@@ArtIsRight
Hello, thanks for the excellent video/s. I jus got a Calibrite SL device and I've done a few calibration sessions on my Macbook Pro Intel, and in the photo option, I get the closest 116 measure W. luminance out of 120 nits target , and in the video mode, 80 measure out of 80 nits target. Now, why on the video the target number isn't the same as on the photo? Also, is the basic SL model good enough or useless? Thanks a lot.
It is just different luminance settings based on standard. You can set it to the value that you want for both. Or set them the same. As far as SL goes, it is a good starter device but for pro I recommend Pro HL or Plus HL
@ArtisRight: I use a 27" iMac Pro and previously used a iDisplay for calibrating, when I saved a profile it was listed as Color profile under display setting. Now I have a Display Pro HL and will be using Calibrate software, my question is: does the saved profile still show in the same place?? A bit unsure since you saved both a profile as well as a calibration in your sample here, please elaborate, thank you.
Hi, first of all great tutorial as usual! Is it normal that the values of a macbook air like this one give better results than a mbp 16&14 m1 or m2 once calibrated by the display pro/plus hl probe? The MBA's screen is limited for professional work and more accurate for colors than the MBP 16&14.
So Art, first time calibrating, great video. But starting on a custom preset of Photography P65 L100, the brightness is locked. Followed all your previous videos. So, getting to the white point and trying to set from 93- which my MacBook Pro 16 M1 2021 Ventura is now locked out on brightness adjustment. Not sure what I do. Next calibration will be the Studio 27 in, 5K and I am a photographer. Sending my photos to be printed by MPIX in a book, having issues with some of my images. I can print myself to Canon-Pro 100, but images going to MPIX coming out too light. Need to get calibrated. Thanks!
I was able to calibrate the Studio display, by adding in coordinates before the calibration. I do not have a BenQ display. I think I’m ok. I cannot get the Calibrite Manager to work as you suggest after calibration. I have the Plus version. I will try to go back to the manufacturer. I can only do the calibration. Thanks Art, these videos are very good.
Hi Art, can I use the i1Display by x-rite or do I need to spend more money on a new calibrator? I think I asked this on another video but not sure. So asking again. Thank you so much!
Hello! I am having this issue where the videos I've taken with my iPhone 14 Pro max look more magenta when previewed on my MacBook Pro (2019). Does that mean I need to calibrate my Mac's display? I would just like to have the colors look exactly the same as when viewed from my iPhone so that I can color grade and edit properly on my laptop. It's driving me insane...
iphone is OLED and MBP 19 is regular LED, they are going to show different color. I would turn off truetone on both and that may help. calibration may or may not help when you are looking for a match.
I have an i1 Display Pro that uses the Calibrite software. I'm currently running Monterey on a 2019 iMac,and I'm happy with the calibration (I don't do color work; I like to calibrate because I find it makes the monitor easier on the eyes, and makes text easier to read). If I upgrade to, say, Sonoma, do I need to recalibrate, purely because of the change in OS? Or, to put it another way, if I have a dual boot machine running both Monterey and Sonoma, will calibrating on Sonoma give a different profile from the one I'd get calibrating on Monterey, even if the same procedure is used on both?
Yes I would recommend a recalibration, but if you are not doing color critical workflow then you may be ok leaving things as is. You can copy the profile to Sonoma and see how that looks. if it is good then go with it, otherwise recalibrate
I have a colormunki, the calibrate software is really laggy on my m1 MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip. Is that normal? Or is it because of the older colormunki?
I have questions, xrite web detail show i1display pro plus which use i1profiler have option to use this new software by upgrade around 9$. Should I do that? Is there any benefit than i1profiler? From what I understand the benefit is minor.
Yes it does starting 1.2.2 I would download the latest version directly from Calibrite website calibrite.com/us/software-downloads/ also what device do you have? And the method shown in this video does not require x y coordinates.
Hi there.... I have the Apple Studio Display.... was following your previous video on calibrating the Studio Display / X-Rite full calibration... @@ArtIsRight
Really good video! Small point of clarification, I think the M1 Mac Air should be set to PFS Phosphor given the 99% P3 coverage. I am almost positive the M1 and M2 airs use the same full DCI-P3 panel introduced in 2016 as the 15 and 16” Mac Pros. Is this correct, I have seen conflicting information?
"I think the M1 Mac Air should be set to PFS Phosphor given the 99% P3 coverage" Color gamut coverage does not necessary correlate to backlight technology, nor are there any official documentation from Apple that those panel covers 99% P3 gamut. I have not looked into this much but what you can do is calibrate the display using the 2 backlight tech and check the RGB tracking curve, the one that deviate less is the correct backlight type to use. And then White LED is the generic one so that will work as well. As a side note, M1 uses a panel that is similar to MBA intel from 2018-2020. And M2 uses a new panel. None the less any of the panels that comes before does not necessary cover full DCI-P3, they are in the 90% range, most likely. And one more thing, Apple Liquid Retina XDR displays inside the 14" & 16" MBP is miniLED, however, those are technically PFS Phosphor tech, however, if you choose the latter it will not work. So a lot of this is really dependent on the spectral output of the panel. Either way, I'll run some testing on my end.
The update to this is that I have tested both and the variation in the RGB tracking is almost identical to each other, with just a different offset color. So the answer to this question is either one will work.
In fact, you only need to use a spectrophotometer to measure the white image on the screen to know that the M1 Mac Air is a PFS phosphor WLED backlight, which has a special red fluorescent emission spectrum. If you use a colorimeter and randomly select different backlights in the calibration software for testing, you may happen to find different settings but the calibration results are not very different. This only means that the colorimeter is very close to the CIE1931 observer in this backlight spectrum.@@ArtIsRight
good day i'm having issues with my benq sw271c the usb-c port does not work, i have tried everything, i live in the caribbean so ti would be a painful process to send it back, how can i fix that ?? thank you
it is not broken, probably because of this ruclips.net/video/u7XD7s5xs1k/видео.html and verify that you are using the cable that comes with the display.
Have you tried just HDMI? There are lots of variable here, you can always contact BenQ US call center for help on this as well. Or the country of origin where you got it from.
do you have the i1Studio or the i1Display, either will work but i1Studio is a color spectrophotometer and will be compatible with Calibrite Profilier later this year.
@@ArtIsRight The names keep changing, like Lightroom, an ever-moving target. :) Yes, I have their i1 Studio, bought from X-Rite 2019. So it looks like a bit of a wait. Thank you.

Using Calibrite HL on Imac 27" 2019. Since Calibration I see a lost in contrast compared with default iMac Color Profile. Is very noticiable. Not sure what is happening. Using Photo preset with D65 and 2.2 Gamma at 120nits. Also tested with 100 nits. Never had contrast issues when comparing with other apple device or printing.
I would reach out to Calibrite support for help on this. If you email feel free to cc me. Please also share your findings. I haven't found this to be the case, so there may be some variables somewhere.
Thank you for this workflow. I previously used DisplayCAL but since it doesn't load on macOS Sonoma anymore I decided to give this one a try. Very easy to use. But since I have an i1Display Plus from X-Rite I had to pay a small fee of $9.99 to upgrade.
For a Displaycal there is a fork that upgrade to python3 and that can then use in Sonoma base on other reply on forum. But not that simple to install, in case you want to try.
I have a really annoying bug since switching from i1Profiler to Calibrite Profiler. My main screen is and Apple Studio display calibrated with Calibrite Profiler, the secondary screen (for color grading) is a BenQ SW270C calibrated with Palete Master Ultimate. Calibrating both screen and using the Calibration slot on the BenQ is perfectly fine. The issue is every time I turn ON/OFF the BenQ or restart the computer, the Apple Studio Display will revert back to the default icc profile. Worse, in the Mac OS ColorSync tool, it shows that the correct calibrated profile is still used despite a drastic visual change. I have to manually re-select the profile I did with calibrite it in order to be correctly used by the OS. Never had that behavior before. Any ideas ?

The MBA's screen is limited for professional work and more accurate for colors than the MBP 16&14.
Yes it is, when you look at the ∆e alone. Part of this has to do with the spectral data on the colorimeters. But I would not look at that metric alone
