Slik sjekker du etter en LG-skjerm i en MacBook Air og gjør det bedre

Hvis du har en nyere MacBook Air, bør du være oppmerksom. Noen av MacBook Airs er frakt med Samsung-skjermer, og noen er frakt med LG-skjermer, begge er kvalitetsdisplayer, men LGs standardfargeprofil er lettere og litt flat. De fleste brukere sannsynligvis ikke merker dette, men hvis du sitter MacBook Air med en Samsung-skjerm ved siden av en med LG-skjermen, kan du se forskjellen. Dette løses lett ved å bruke en tilpasset fargeprofil som har bedre gamma. Dette innlegget går deg gjennom hvordan du sjekker hvilket produsentpanel du har, og viser deg også hvordan du legger til en egendefinert fargeprofil som gjør at LG-skjermen er like nydelig som Samsung.

Sjekk etter en LG-skjerm med MacBook Air

Ved å bruke den samme kommandoen til å kontrollere fabrikat og modell av en LCD som fungerer på tidligere Mac-maskiner, kan du sjekke produsenten av displaypanelet på MacBook Air.

  • Start terminalen (/ Programmer / Verktøy /)
  • Kopier og lim inn følgende kommando på en enkelt linje og trykk tilbake:

    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.
