It's a laptop screen, I thought it should be exactly replicating the colors on the laptop. I thought this Macbook Pro screen was as color-accurate as it could get. All these words are my own, they did not pay me to make the article or video but there will be affiliate links here if you'd like to learn more and support my future reviews.Ĭalibrating Macbook Pro with Datacolor SpyderX Elite

As always the company has not seen this article or video before posting, or told me to say or not say anything about this product. While I'll touch on that a little later in this article and video, as soon as Datacolor reached out to me, I said I'd love to review one of their screen calibrators.

A comment came to mind that I received a few months ago asking how to match colors from their computer to their Sony Bravia TV. The company emailed me and asked if I would like to review one of their Spyder X Elites. This article and video was prompted by Datacolor and their Spyder X Elite. I have a few different monitors, and in this article, I'm going to calibrate them and show you the before and afters of each monitor, including my Macbook Pro screen and my pre-color-calibrated Asus ProArt screens. They never stay calibrated forever, if they are even calibrated out of the box. The fact of the matter is, screens tend to change colors over time as you use them. I also used my Macbook Pro screen as the "source of truth" when it comes to colors. I've never color-calibrated my monitors, I've actually purchased pre-color calibrated Asus monitors before to get around doing this.

In the back of my mind, I knew that probably wasn't exactly right but I didn't have any way to calibrate my monitor to say otherwise, so I just stuck with the default settings. I've always assumed the displays that I buy are calibrated out of the box, so the colors on the screen are natural as long as I'm not using any custom color settings.

Screen calibration is one of those topics that I know is important, but it's not something I do frequently.
