Så här kontrollerar du för en LG-skärm i en MacBook Air och gör det bättre

Om du har en nyare MacBook Air bör du vara uppmärksam. Några av MacBook Airs levereras med Samsung-skärmar, och vissa levereras med LG-skärmar, båda är kvalitetsdisplayer, men LGs standardfärgsprofil är ljusare och lite platt. De flesta användare kommer antagligen inte märka detta, men om du sätter en MacBook Air med en Samsung-skärm bredvid en med LG-skärmen kan du se skillnaden. Det här kan lätt avhjälpas genom att använda en anpassad färgprofil som har bättre gamma. I det här inlägget går du igenom hur du kontrollerar vilken tillverkarpanel du har och visar dig hur du lägger till en anpassad färgprofil som gör att LG-skärmen är lika vacker som Samsung.

Kontrollera efter en LG-skärm med MacBook Air

Med samma kommando för att kontrollera märke och modell för en LCD-skärm som fungerar på tidigare Macar, kan du kolla tillverkaren av displaypanelen på MacBook Air.

Color LCD If the prefix is not “LP” then you have a Samsung display and there's no need to use the color profile or to follow the rest of the instructions, if it does start with LP (like the example shown), then proceed Add a Custom Color Profile for the MacBook Air's LG Display A user on MacRumors forums put together a custom color profile that really sharpens the display of the LG displays in some 2011 MacBook Air machines. Again, if you don't have an LG display then you shouldn't use this profile. Adding this color profile is reversible and you can always go back to the default if you don't like it. Download this .icc profile (or from here on GitHub) to the Desktop Hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/ Copy the downloaded .icc profile to that displays folder, you'll need to authenticate Open “System Preferences” and click on “Displays” Select the “Color” tab and uncheck the box next to “Show profiles for this display only” Click on the second “Color LCD” profile in the list (the top-most Color LCD profile is the default) If you have the LG display, you'll see a difference immediately. Contrasts are sharper, whites are whiter, and there is a much more clear differentiation between minor shades of colors and greys. If you decide you don't like the modified LG profile, just select top-most “Color LCD” in the list. You can also put the color profile into the user home library folder instead of the system library directory, but you'll probably have to make the folder yourself.
