Colour calibration/profile file

[reclusive46]

Hi,

I had my monitor calibrated a few months ago and the ICM file works fine on my Intel Macs but for some reason when using the file on my M1 Mac mini, the colours are all wrong and the screen is completely washed out. Has anyone else had this issue and found a fix? It's like it's reading the file differently from an Intel Mac.

Edit: It actually seems like the issue only occurs when HDR is enabled.

HDR should only be enabled when viewing HDR video content optimized for ST 2084 gamma. Many HDR videos don’t require and aren’t graded for ST 2084 so you don’t have to enable it unless required.

Everything else should use the default, calibrated, or P3 profile if you have a P3 display.

Display profiles are not transferrable between computers. If color is important, you need to calibrate on both the Intel and M1 computers; there's no guarantee that both behave the same.
