i1 Display Pro + MBP 15" Retina, no smooth gradient

[Atilla Taskiran]

Hi,

i already love this community. Thank you all for the effort and you Florian especially.

I just got my i1 Display Pro last week and as you can imagine, i tried several settings in the i1 Profiler app and also DisplayCAL.

I’m having an issue with the created profile from DisplayCAL, especially when looking at gradients like these: https://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/Calibration/monitor_gradient.htm

It not smooth and has some banding.

Settings used for calibration:

• White LED IPS
• Interactive display adjustment
• Whitepoint: 6500K
• White level: 80cd/m
• Tonecurve: Gamma 2.2
• Calibration speed: Medium
• Profile quality: High with 584 Patches

I put the zip archive from DisplayCAL into the attachment.

Love to hear from you! Thanks.

Hi,

the profile looks fine. Note that it is not always possible to provide a completely banding-free result in color managed applications. It depends on the individual application and whether or not it uses high precision processing and/or high quality dithering.

Hi Florian,

thank you for the quick answer. I still see this as an issue. No matter where look at gradients or “build” them in photoshop etc… I’m getting this weird non smoothed gradient.

Please see the attachment where i show the difference between i1 Profiler and DisplayCAL results.

That’s a different issue. See https://hub.displaycal.net/forums/topic/dark-images-in-mac-photos-preview-with-displaycal-generated-profile/

Oh thats sad, that means that nothing except the Apple profiles and profiles from the i1Profiler software work correctly. 🙁
