SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

[wynand32]

All great points, and you're right: there's a lot to like about these machines. I opened up your test image on my own "gold standard" SP4, and it's not perfect either. It's worse on the SB2 15, basically darker on each side with a lighter strip running through the middle. I'll just keep using it and see how much it bugs me before making my final decision -- I do have until January 31, after all.

I've settled for enhanced in color management while stipping down red channel by two steps and and green by one using the calibration tool. Overall I can be satisfied with this.

Am curious. Can you calibrate the enhance mode with the built in tool? or does it just give you a calibrated SRGB setting you can choose from in settings but without the enhanced color contrast aspect?

In my experience, running the calibration tool creates a separate profile dubbed "sRGB display profile with display hardware configuration data derived from calibration." It's the same whether you start in RGB or Enhanced mode.

Honestly, I think it looks better in all respects, including offering more contrast. I wish Microsoft would have created the same calibration they used on the Surface Pro and OG Surface Book and left it at that.

So essentially you can then have 3 different profiles to choose from.

I wonder if anyone has a calibrated ICC file to give us get we could add more

Compared it to my mbp 2012 and my 13.5 inch before returning it for the 15 inch I now have.
Seems as much as I try to play with colors in calibration I can either get it bluer or greener than my old mac but never the same. Either I get the color fidelity spot on but white are too warm or I get the white just right but images then look too cool. Would love if someone did calibration with a spyder or xrite and provided a profile. Better yet wish windows had white point setting like osx!!!!!
