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. Way brighter again, and way less color accurate. At least it doesn't need to be ewaste now.
2003 PowerBooks didn’t have an LED backlight, they were CCFL. MacBook Pros didn’t get an LED backlight until 2007.
Apple 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!
TVs generally have a service menu with color calibration options.
The 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.
With a colorimeter?
it uses a known (to apple) iphone camera as a colorimeter
I’m aware, that’s what I was referring to in GP. Read the post I was replying to again.
Are you saying your replacement while being brighter is now less color accurate?
