Hello all - I bought my MBP yesterday, and I absolutely LOVE OS X. It was a huge mistake to wait so long to switch from PC to mac...Everything I hated about Windows is (intentionally) absent in Leopard. It's awesome!
My only pet peeve has to do with the mac's color rendering, specifically with respect to its handling of reds. Reds that used to be dark and deep appear way too orange and stark on the mac. Have any other "switchers" noticed this? I'm using an external monitor (HP w2408), and I've tried adjusting it every which way, but I still can't get the reds right. The same issue is definitely there with the MBP's internal monitor though, so I'm almost certain it's just the way the mac's color profiles are handling the reds. For instance, the red horizontal bars on this site appear a nice rich, candy apple red on my IBM Thinkpad (PC), but appear much more orange, oversaturated and bright on the mac. All the other colors look perfect though - whites are white, blues are blue, etc. Has anyone else who experienced this rectified the issue? How? I know the textbook version of what color profiles do, but I'm afraid that I don't have much experience in tinkering with them. Every other monitor and notebook I've had for PC never presented an issue...
Thanks for any help!
