Hoe u op een LG-beeldscherm in een MacBook Air kunt kijken en het er beter uit kunt laten zien

Als je een nieuwere MacBook Air hebt, moet je opletten. Sommige MacBook Air's worden geleverd met Samsung-beeldschermen en sommige worden met LG-beeldschermen geleverd, beide zijn kwaliteitsdisplays, maar het standaardkleurprofiel van de LG is lichter en een beetje plat. De meeste gebruikers zullen dit waarschijnlijk niet merken, maar als je een MacBook Air met een Samsung-display naast het LG-display ziet zitten, zie je het verschil. Dit kan eenvoudig worden verholpen door een aangepast kleurenprofiel te gebruiken met een beter gamma. In dit bericht wordt uitgelegd hoe je kunt controleren welk fabrikantenpaneel je hebt en hoe je een aangepast kleurenprofiel kunt toevoegen waarmee het LG-scherm net zo mooi is als de Samsung.

Controleer op een LG Display met de MacBook Air

Met dezelfde opdracht om het merk en het model van een LCD-scherm te controleren dat werkt op eerdere Macs, kunt u de fabrikant van het displaypaneel van de MacBook Air controleren.

• Start de Terminal (/ Programma's / Hulpprogramma's /)
• Kopieer en plak de volgende opdracht op een enkele regel en druk op Return:

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.
