Thanks for the reply Carlo. Can you tell me how i can connect the monitor to MBP video out? MBP has a thunderbolt port out.

Is there an adaptor to connect USB to thunderbolt port? I only know about adapters for VGA, HDMI and DVI, but not USB too...

And one other thing i noticed, not sure if is important or helps in any way. If i use a screen capture tool on the Thinkvision monitor, and then i look at the picture on MBP monitor, the colors are fine. Image shows same as it was taken from Mac screen, even though it looks bad on Thinkvision. It just looks like the mac see the image "behind the screen" normal, but the screen itself adds some kind of overlay, making it look bad. Not sure i can explain it better...

Hi Omerius,

Sorry did not notice it's the (quite sleek!) LT1421. You can't run that experiment of course.

The screen shot of the framebuffer is a good idea, I think this is what we are expecting (default profile applied) but I'll do a few experiments changing the internal screen profile to make sure.

In any case, I'm afraid we can't offer a solution for color correction in any near time scale.
You feedback is really useful for us to understand just how important this is: thank you!

Carlo

Thanks Carlo. It looks like i am out of luck. I did like the monitor too, and i actually wanted two of them, but unfortunately i can't use it

I hope some day you guys are going to add color calbration. I will buy a monitor the second day (assuming they are still on sale)

What about a tweaked version of the driver to offer color temp the same as thunderbolt / mac displays?
