For those of you that use Apple Displays, iMac, MacBook, or the Studio Display, this one's worth your attention ...
Calibrite has just announced that the Display Plus HL (the profiler I use) is now officially Apple approved; iIt's the first colorimeter that works directly inside Apple's own display calibration workflow, which means it can write adjustments straight to the display hardware itself rather than just layering a correction profile on top in macOS.
This is BIG news!
🚨 Why does that matter?
Up to now, proper hardware-level calibration on Apple displays was only possible with industrial spectroradiometers costing thousands; this brings that same level of precision to a device built for photographers and creatives instead.
A few key points:
It writes white point, luminance, and colour accuracy directly to the display; one calibration session updates every reference mode at once, covering both SDR and HDR, so you're not redoing it each time you switch.
The calibration is stored on the display itself (just like the BenQ monitors being Hardware Calibrated), so if you plug it into another Mac, your accuracy travels with it.
Supported hardware includes the Studio Display, Studio Display XDR, Pro Display XDR, and MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro or Max and later.
🚨 Note: You'll need macOS Tahoe 26.4 or newer for the hardware calibration to work.
Worth a look if you're on a Mac and care about colour, and especially if you print.
Cheers,
