Dim Screen and Over saturation Mac Pro 1,1 - 10.6.5
I have heard that this is because the apple changed the gamma from 1.8 to 2.0 (or 2.2... i forget) anyway. The screen looks awful. I have tried other profiles, recalibration, etc... with no luck. However while the computer is on if I simply pull the dvi connection out of the machine and put it back in it reverts to a traditional gamma, saturation and overall appearance of what the screen looked like in 10.5. 🙂
Now although I think it is really absurd that I need to do this I dont care that much EXCEPT this solution does NOT work with the secondary display port. I will pull the dvi out and plug it back in and the secondary screen is still very dark and saturated. I noticed it first in 10.6.4 and was hoping the issue would be resolved in 10.6.5 update but no luck.
Whats the deal?
Is there any solution to get the traditional saturation, color and brightness of my displays restored?
Just so you have a little background on myself, I am an IT technician of 5 years and a digital artist of 10 years. I do not believe that this issue can be resolved with recalibrating the display profile because I have tried it (many times). I REALLY hope this is not the new standard.
If it is see ya later 10.6! Hello 10.5.
Thanks in advance
