After buying new MBP 15" and 24"LED Cinema Display , this year at the turn of January I have noticed that black&white images are not displayed in neutral colors(they are not strictly black and white) on both monitors after those being calibrated with help of EyeOne Display2 and Eye-One Match program. Image on MacBookPro has become reddish/bluish, what is particularly noticeable on grey areas. It is likely that images, when shown by MBP screen, are being displayed in colder tones than same images on the external one. Same problem occurs when using both videocards.
There was no such trouble with the previous MacBook Pro(4.1) and a pair of Unibody MacBook Pros.
I also tried Datacolor Spyder3 Pro, but the result was somewhat worse.
With different external monitors (24'' LED Cinema Display, 23'' Apple Cinema Display, Dell S2409W, NEC LCD2690WUXI) there is no problem with the tone.
Additionally, sometimes in some cases drops the contrast - i.e. when booting the computer, returning from the screensaver or sleep mode. In this case it remains as it is (even if I change the display preferences or put the computer to sleep mode again) . Sometimes helps only turn-off for some time. Contrast becomes low either on both screens or only on that of the outer one.
I have a videos with an example of contrast remaining at the same level while changing options in the Display Preferences menu:

Since I use my computer for working with graphics and photo work, both problems really stir, because contrast and white balance in RAW-converter, Photoshop and Aperture don’t match.
