मैकबुक एयर में एलजी डिस्प्ले के लिए कैसे जांचें और इसे बेहतर बनाएं
यदि आपके पास एक नया मैकबुक एयर है तो आपको ध्यान देना चाहिए। कुछ मैकबुक एयर सैमसंग डिस्प्ले के साथ शिपिंग कर रहे हैं, और कुछ एलजी डिस्प्ले के साथ शिपिंग कर रहे हैं, दोनों गुणवत्ता प्रदर्शन हैं, लेकिन एलजी का डिफ़ॉल्ट रंग प्रोफाइल हल्का और थोड़ा सा फ्लैट है। अधिकांश उपयोगकर्ता शायद यह ध्यान नहीं देंगे, लेकिन यदि आप एलजी डिस्प्ले के साथ एक सैमसंग डिस्प्ले के साथ मैकबुक एयर बैठते हैं, तो आप अंतर देख सकते हैं। यह एक कस्टम रंग प्रोफाइल का उपयोग करके आसानी से उपचार किया जाता है जिसमें बेहतर गामा होता है। यह पोस्ट आपको किस निर्माता पैनल के पास जांचने के तरीके के माध्यम से चलेगा, और यह भी दिखाएगा कि कस्टम रंग प्रोफाइल कैसे जोड़ना है जो एलजी डिस्प्ले को सैमसंग के रूप में शानदार बनाता है।
मैकबुक एयर के साथ एक एलजी डिस्प्ले की जांच करें
पिछले मैक पर काम करने वाली एलसीडी के मेक और मॉडल की जांच करने के लिए एक ही कमांड का उपयोग करके, आप मैकबुक एयर के डिस्प्ले पैनल के निर्माता की जांच कर सकते हैं।

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.

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.

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]* Read the output, you are looking for an “LP” prefix to numbers reported back:
LP133WP1-TJA3
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:
Color LCD/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.
