Yeah just like OLED, the LED backlight on a LCD doesn't last. I just recently swapped out the backlight on my ~10 year old TV with a $30 new one off aliexpress.

- ComputerGuru 2y agoApple TV is the only option I know of (other than using it as an HDMI output device for a PC) that allows for color calibration. This needs to become mainstream!
- mastax 2y agoTVs generally have a service menu with color calibration options.
- ComputerGuru 2y agoWith a colorimeter?
- daoistmonk 2y agoit uses a known (to apple) iphone camera as a colorimeter
- ComputerGuru 2y agoI’m aware, that’s what I was referring to in GP. Read the post I was replying to again.
- charrondev 2y agoThe Apple TV setup has you use a phone to handle it for you (it auto calibrates from video) rather than having to fiddle with 20 different sliders in 7 different menus.
- dylan604 2y agoAre you saying your replacement while being brighter is now less color accurate?
- amarshall 2y ago2003 PowerBooks didn’t have an LED backlight, they were CCFL. MacBook Pros didn’t get an LED backlight until 2007.
