Where is the Display Calibration mode?!
I am trying to calibrate the new MBP and there is no calibration tool?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.1

Here is the other discussion if you are interested - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/cant-calibrate-new-xdr-macbook-pro-display-missing-color-button-calibration-option.2319627/
After starting the calibrator and calibrating it creates an icc file on the same place as usual (/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays) and fortunately uses it, but if you try the drop down menu or something - you lose the calibration - the file is there, but the mac is not using it... and no way to choose it, so basically the only option is to calibrate and hold your breath... until something happens, which... is kind of ridiculous.
Hope apple will fix it...
EDIT
I got it - it's on the link I posted but I did't pay enough attention - after creating the icc file you can choose it form /Utilities/ColorSync app - Devices - Current Profile:

Do you get the regular calibration box when you press the + button, but get the same thing when you hold the Option key instead of Expert Mode?
No idea what, "Also how can I copy ready profile that's created?" means.
It's well hidden.
System Preferences > Displays
Click on the drop down menu showing the current monitor profile. Go all the way to the bottom of the list and choose Custom. On this small screen that appears, click the + button.
Hold down the Option key while clicking the + button to get Expert Mode.
Right... but sad what macOS is becoming..
Resume for the next poor one who will try to calibrate the monitor:
Life made easy...............................
Yes, no matter what I press it opens only this:
'how can I copy ready profile that's created?' means, that I used to keep my profiles, after the calibration, and re-use them on every re-install of the macOS... up to now..
I found a way to start the 'deeeeeeply hidden' (?????) calibration tool, there is a discussion in the macrumors site, but now it appears impossible to copy the icc file and select it from the drop down menu... another ridiculous thing from apple...
btw this new macOS keeps kind of stucking and looks really not good at all
I'm afraid I can't help much on the screen you're seeing. That's completely different (for a laptop?) than what I get on my Mac Mini.
As far as finding the custom profiles you create, they're either going to be in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder, or in your user account's ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder. The tilde ~ just means the active user account.
Thanks for the effort!
Strange there are so huge differences depending on the type of a computer...
I know where to find the icc file - but it is not appearing in the drop down menu - no matter where I copy it
Ah, gotcha. I have a feeling, based on your screen shot of fixed choices, that there are no typical monitor profiles on you Mac. But rather, the choices are saved in a .plist file and applied according to that.
Which is probably a bad guess since you'd think there'd be an actual .icc / .icm profile somewhere. Unfortunately, I have no way of testing or looking to try and see what's going on.
I agree. Something is definitely wrong when you can't get at the calibration app from the Displays applet, and then can't choose a custom profile there, but have to bounce over to the ColorSync Utility in order to choose what you want.
At least you found a way to do both.
Not working on mine...
Indeed - they hide 'the expert mode' too... but that way you describe isn't opening expert mode here...
Also how can I copy ready profile that's created?
