Settings for Macbook Calibration GUI Resolve (matched with Decklink Eizo)

[Matthieu Abily]

Hello,

I think that this question might have been asked a lot already. And by the way, thanks Florian for DisplayCal, this is really nice for a lot of us.

I have in my setup and old 2012 macbook, with a Decklink, an Eizo CS2420 and a i1 Display Pro.

I calibrated my eizo trough DisplayCal, following your tutorials / Settings : White LED / CIE 1931 / 6500 K / 100 cd/m2 / Rec. 1886 2.4 / vcgt applied / interactive display adjustement. The idea is to be able to color grade in 422 environnement, 8 bits, and be able to trust what i grade for web and screens (not cinema P3 and all that stuff).

I was happy with the results, the measurements report was good.

I tried to calibrate the GUI screen, which is my macbook, and i’m not that sure about the settings i should use :

i followed the tutorial : resolve settings / display color lcd.. but then on the calibration panel : i choose interactive only the configurate the brightness to match 100 cd/m2, and closed it. And then, unchecked interactive, and leave everything to as measured ? and in 3D LUT tab, choose Rec 709 & Rec 1886 Gamma 2.4 and leaving vcgt applied ?

Because, i can’t manipulate RGB gain on my macbook display. And i would like it to match the more closely possible to my eizo, something acceptable, not perfect of course. In the preferences settings for the icc profile of the display, i leave it on “color lcd” which is the basic icc profile of the screen.

Should i do things in another way ? Let me know, thanks for the advices.

Best.

Yes, that is an approach that you can take (also required for Laptops as they lack RGB gain controls as well).

Hello again Florian,

do you mind confirming that when we only want to profile the macbook screen, so that the colors we’ll only be corrected in RESOLVE with the 3D lut, we should keep VCGT applied ? because i was thinking that maybe uncheck it will make more sense, because the ICC profile will be applied system wide, and also in resolve, because it is the gui, so part of the system and linked to the gpu. That would allow me to set the patches and the LUT to something more precise, without being restricted to single curve + matrix

The ICC profile of the mac will be set to colour LCD. I don’t really know how display cal handle those things.. is it loading a LINEAR ICC when taking measurements ?

Best,

Matthieu
