Sypder II with LEDs on
2010-02-19 by Phiegze
I've seen a number of posts saying the Spyder 3 works well with LED backlit screens. Is the same true for the Sypder II? I'm picking up a 17" MacBook tomorrow and wonder if I need a new Spyder. Thanks

The Spyder3 has advantages with wide gamut displays, but the Spyder2 should not have any particular problems with LED backlights. MacBooks aren't wide gamut; just LED, so you should be okay. C. D.

No longer true, David.
Wide gamut displays have been available on the MBP's since last June.

I haven't had the chance to work with the latest of the MBPs (mine is the previous generation) but Apple's desktop displays seem to be staying at a point just a bit larger than sRGB, with no mad leaps towards AdobeRGB/NTSC. Does anyone have a Spyder3 profile of the latest MBP that they could email to me for analysis?

I have a month-old MacBook Pro 13" which I just profiled with Spyder3Elite. I don't know whether the improved displays include this model but if so, I'll send you the profile if you tell me where the file is stored. cheers, ncm G4 MDD Dual 1.25 GHz/2 Gb RAM OSX 10.5.8 G4 PowerBook al 1.33 GHz/1.25Gb RAM OSX 10.5.8 MacBook Pro 13" 2.53 GHz/8Gb RAM OSX 10.6.2

It appears at first look that your MBP should have the wide gamut display:

The display profile is stored in one of two places: Macintosh Harddrive --> Library --> Colorsync --> Displays or: YourUserHomeName --> Library --> Colorsync --> Displays
