Your problem is in the monitor set-up. Apple (for some odd reason) use a
gamma of 1.8 for their screens when every other computer on the planet
uses 2.2. Try setting your Gamma to 2.2 (The screen will darken) and
then calibrate it again.


they *used* to use 1.8, which started long ago so that the screen
matched the old laserwriter printers. they now use 2.2, but it really
makes no difference as whatever setting it's at is incorporated into
the display profile.

Almost 100% of Apple monitor calibration problems are because the
starting point has nothing to do with colour. You need the get the gamma
right before you start.


nonsense.

Unless you paid $2000 plus for the monitor alone, it is not a backlit
monitor and you have no control over that function.


all lcd displays are backlit.



You are so full of bull****, nospam, I thing you ought have a bowl scan
for the pox.
