Calibrating a MacBook Pro... Help!

[68lbs]

Hi All!

First of all, my apologies for not being on here in ages, and then diving straight in with a question. I'm back now though and promise to make a more responsible contribution.

Anyways... MacBook Pro... anyone calibrated one?

I have a Huey and just ran it (3 times!) on my MBP and I'm not at all happy with the results. It seems to have given everything a greenish/yellow tinge. Has anyone else experienced problems? I'm completely baffled, but have tried doing it the living room (quite dimly lit), the kitchen (better lit) and even outside! Every time there's this greenish tint!

The screen is the glossy one, and I was wondering whether it was reflecting my green t-shirt? But feel like I'm clutching at straws!

Anyone?

IME with a Spyder, use the native white point on the display rather than 6500K and it works much better.

I have tried and failed. I think it won't look as good as a dedicated monitor no matter how hard you try

I don't get any opportunity to set a white point with the Huey. I've tried recalibrating again today and work and am forcing myself to use the screen in it's calibrated state to see if I can get used to it... but I am sure it's way off! The 'flickr' logo doesn't look magenta, rather a wishy washy pink, and there's just no punch.

Yep, think I'll have to abandon this as a bad do. I thought there were people on here though that only used MBP's and didn't even use a desktop. :shrug:

I do, but have a non glossy screen - it calibrates up just fine using a Spyder 3 Pro. I've calibrated glossy ones using that too though, and the results seem fine - is the calibration tool a dud somehow perhaps?
