<p>Thanks a lot guys for your help and thanks Mike for the link. I watched through the whole video and also the "calibrating an external monitor" video. And it was exactly what i did, including the pre-cal part of using the Apple included software to set the white point and gamma. But it is always nice to make sure what I did was right. Anyway, I had a friend visiting tonight and he has a couple years old MBP 15" with the glossy screen and was also calibrated with his i1 display 2, so I asked him to bring along his notebook and I pulled out the medium grey screen from LR2 and we watched all three screens right in front of our eyes, and guess what? although all 3 screens looks differently but his screen looks more natural and much closer to the white point of my Dell U2711. And he agrees that my screen does appears to have a somewhat magenta/pink cast to it. Still can't figure out why. I guess nothing is perfect.... anyway, waiting for Apple and X-rite's response. Thanks again for all your help.</p>

<p>Mine is a 9CB7 as well. I will take a picture of both monitors tomorrow and try to post it here. But I recalled one thing, the other day I was trying to restart the MBP and before it completely restart the screen paused for a half second or so, in that half second the screen looked normal like my other monitor but it wears that cast after that. So would it be a bug of the operating system? Don't know. Anyway, many thanks for your help.<br>

<p>Thanks for your response Andrew. Have you tried comparing your Calibrated MBP with other calibrated monitor? I just tried to play with the white point setting with the MBP and nothing is matching my other two monitors. Honestly, I am start thinking now the magenta/pink cast is the native color of the anti glare coating... Just emailed x-rite and waiting for a response.<br>

<p>Hi Steven, matching my prints is the most important thing to me. I have tried the included Apple method and it looks awful. While the imac and the dell matches my prints almost perfectly, but not the MBP.<br>

I do not have the LR3 yet. Will Buy it later.<br>

Hi Joe, will try that tonight, but however the software won't let me change the Y value. thanks.</p>

<p>I have received my new MacBook Pro 15" i7 (hi-res anti glare) few days ago but disappointed to tell all of you that it is impossible to calibrate to standard. I am using eye-one display 2, both on my new MBP, my imac and my Dell U2711 which is connected to the MBP. All of them set at 6500k, 2.2 gamma and 90cd, while the imac and the Dell both look okay, the MBP has a somewhat purple/pink cast to it, and no matter how many times I calibrate, it still looks the same. I have called Apple Hong Kong but they know nothing about calibrating. Search the Apple support forum and found out I am not the only one. Does anyone has similar issue here? What a big disappointment since this MBP that I bought is for photo editing but only to learn that it is not usable.</p>
