    Argh, if you can't adjust the contrast using the DVI cable with this monitor.... is there an on-the-monitor calibration adjustment? My old Dell monitor allows me to adjust contrast using buttons on the monitor, even if it's rather primitive....

    One old-time trick..... a photo of a MacBeth Color Chart, then eye-calibrate till you can get it similar on both.....

    Is the Dell matte and the MBP glossy? The Glossy screens seem to have better D-max, (darkness density) and whiter whites, but may result in a stair-stepping of the highlights and shadows, so the photos "look better" but are actually less "real information" editing-wise...

    Even Rmost recent MBP's don't actually use IPS screens anymore I believe, but who knows... IPS is supposedly much better than TN....

    • Both are matte.mg33
    • And there is no monitor button to adjust contrast. Using DVI, contrast is a hidden option in the on screen menu.mg33
