Comment vérifier un écran LG dans un MacBook Air et le rendre meilleur

Si vous avez un MacBook Air plus récent, vous devriez faire attention. Certains des MacBook Air sont livrés avec des écrans Samsung, et certains sont livrés avec des écrans LG, les deux sont des écrans de qualité, mais le profil de couleur par défaut du LG est plus léger et un peu plat. La plupart des utilisateurs ne remarqueront probablement pas cela, mais si vous êtes assis un MacBook Air avec un écran Samsung à côté d'un avec l'écran LG, vous pouvez voir la différence. Ceci est facilement résolu en utilisant un profil de couleur personnalisé qui a un meilleur gamma. Ce billet vous explique comment vérifier quel panel de fabricants vous avez, et vous montre également comment ajouter un profil de couleur personnalisé qui rend l'écran LG tout aussi magnifique que le Samsung.

Vérifiez la présence d'un écran LG avec le MacBook Air

En utilisant la même commande pour vérifier la marque et le modèle d'un écran LCD qui fonctionne sur les anciens Mac, vous pouvez vérifier le fabricant du panneau d'affichage du MacBook Air.

  • Copiez et collez la commande suivante sur une seule ligne et tapez return:

    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.
