Pantone Huey vs the Macbook, Part 2
In which I get a reference calibration.
First, a problem image, screen captured from my camera. Note that this image has blue and yellow/green fringes in the mid gray regions. This is an all gray image, so there should be no color there. (The absolute colors are off here due to the capture).
That same image, using the monitor calibration from the EyeOne, shows a smooth grayscale and no color banding.
The OS profile for this monitor shows a little color banding, but nowhere near as much as the Huey profile, and not enough to show on one of these screenshots.
After seeing the EyeOne calibration, it’s not the monitor, it’s the calibration. Comparing the calibrations, it’s pretty clear that they significantly differ, at least in the curves.
