    Anyone know what the color gamut percentage is on the 2011 Macbook Pro's display (AG or Glossy)? I only found one thread on this forum on the subject from 2009 which didn't seem to provide anything definitive. Since the Macbook Pros only support 6 bits per RGB channel I wonder what the maximum could be.

    my AG calibrates at 60% my glossy @ 61 using a sypder pro.
    if you hit creativecow.com there are lots of profiles shown. low was about 54% high @68% ( calibrated values )

    Thanks for info!
    Judging from the equipment in your sig you could be in the graphics creation and/or photo production business. Do you find the MacbookP's display good enough for your purposes?

    for accurate color reproduction on the road no, only with an external display.
    ( pre-press design and video editing )
