Laptop Gamut: MacBook Pro?

2011-11-26 by mdgolfbum

When my daughter wanted to do some work with her photos on her laptop I told her I'd profile the display to try to make it somewhat accurate. Her laptop is a Dell with an LED backlight.

After I profiled it with the Spyder3 I looked at the gamut display and found that it was almost a direct overlay on sRGB. In comparison her Dell desktop displays are much closer to AdobeRGB.

Since she works with images that occasionally even exceed AdobeRGB this laptop is pretty useless for the intended purpose.

She mentioned that she often sees other artists working with MacBook Pros and wondered if there displays had any wider gamuts.

Anyone profile their MBP who can give some insight into the gamut comparison to sRGB or AdobeRGB?

Thanks

Jim
