has anyone else noticed the following with an LG display or found them less good than samsung? (I checked and my new macbook pro 15″ has an LG display) – thing is my colors are not as bright as my last macbook pro, nor as bright as the display models at the store I bought it at (we’ve gone through two now trying to find one that’s better) – side by side comparison with the mac guy and tech guy and we couldn’t match them up – all the calibration adjustments won’t do it – the white is not a true light-cool white – everything is a warm/yellow/ashy/dirty tint to it – i can’t get a white-white…anyone else notice this. It’s a bit easier on the eyes but making me crazy – it’s not that pure white (like on the iphone – the contrast of the word google against the white) – but a yellowy/dusty white (and yes, I know how to calibrate and tried it for hours on end. – not possible unless everything is made to tint a blue hue.
