Calibrating Imac 27inch MID2011 with Spyder4

Hi there, I've bought the Spyder4pro to calibrate my Imac 27inch Mid2011 version OSX Yosemite 10.10.2.

I would appreciate if someone could help me with setup of the Spyder4Pro on a iMac 27" monitor.

Monitor setup questions:
Gamut: (Need to choose between)
Unknown
Normal Gamut
Wide Gamut

Backlight: (Need to choose between)
Unknown
Fluorescent (CCFL)
White LED
RGB LED

Thank you,

Minke Booysen

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Your Mac's specs. That it's from 2011, it would likely be a wide gamut display. Though really, it's a dumb question since the colorimeter is going to read the color patches from the screen the same way no matter which one you choose.


The page only states LED. Not whether it's a white LED or RBG. A white LED backlight is always the same color, and the profiling software has to balance the white point via the panel. An RGB LED screen can be color balanced to the chosen white point by adjusting the backlight itself.
