MacBook Screen Colour Calibration!

Hey, i felt the screen colours are a bit too light/bright so i checked out what i can do about it and calibrated the screen, only thing i did was changing 1,8 "standard gamma correction" to 2,2 "television gamma correction" and it looks so much better for me now.

Though i don't know if it is ok because i heard the colours are not colourfast. And changing it causes it to be more not colourfast. But now it does look so much better.

I would like to know if you think the same about the looks now and if it causes the battery life time to decrease.

 

what is color fast?

 

As in the colours are what they should look like, because of that the macbook is not suitable for designer i heard.

 

Not really true. It is suitable for designers unless you are a high end professional. And I mean that by thousands of people seeing your work.
What they are talking about is GLOSSY screens not being as accurate as matte screens. This is true of every glossy display out there, but I think Mac has a much better accuracy than some of the others I've used. It is very suitable for graphic design and illustration if you are a student or non pro.
But anyway, a 13.3" screen isn't really suitable for doing desing on anyway. Way too small.
Thats part of why I went with the MBP, 2 more inches of real estate and I didn't need to buy an external monitor to do my graphic work on.

 

That's good to know, so what about the original questions?

 

not even all Pro graphic designers have to always rely on color accuracy of their screen. The difference is very very minute right now. not to mention almost every matte screen out there has such a graininess to it.

 

Allright!
Still Iwould like to know if you think the same about the looks now and if it causes the battery life time to decrease.
