I’m trying to pick the best profile type for me, but the lack of easy to understand documentation leaves me really confused, I would really appreciate if someone could explain the pros and cons of each profile type I can pick. Maybe a flowchart, letting beginners know which to pick. I have a ColorMunki Display), I think it should be documented somewhere. While I could ask you guys what would be the best profile type for me (you can tell me directly, I have a TN panel, only using Chrome and programming/gaming on my machine. How less compatible are they? Is the difference of accuracy that big? I also read that LUTs are better for accuracy but less compatible. Many sources online specify to use single curve + matrix, without saying why. What I recall from my searches were something like “if you have a TN panel, use XYZ LUT”, something about having to disable black tone correction if you use this or that profile type. I am just an enthusiast who wants good colours for his screen.

I’m not a professional requiring colour accuracy, I don’t use any photo editing software, or anything fancy. I have spent hours trying to find information about what is different between LUTs, curves, single curve… I’m still lost as to which is the best for me. If you do not have a separate user to do this, you will need to do it from Recovery in Terminal.I’m getting pretty confused about profile type. If you have a custom profile assigned to your internal display, you will need to find a way to delete the custom profile in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles or /Library/ColorSync/Profiles that is assigned to your display. Sucks that I cannot use that profile, but I'll take that alternative. Custom color profiles, in this case generated by Displa圜al, do not work on beta 2. The problem returned as soon as I selected my calibrated display ICC profile. Then reconfigure your display resolutions and arrangement. There are two files that must be deleted: To fix this, all Display Settings must be trashed so that macOS has no knowledge of any previous Display Configurations.

The problem is some incompatibility in the certain Display Configurations from Beta 1. I also tried running Titanium Onyx to delete system caches and all other standard maintenance tasks. I tried temporarily removed all LaunchAgents. Those who do not have the problem likely don't have whatever is borked in my user account. I'm doing further research to track down the specific problem. This worked! No issue with the external display. UPDATE: I tried creating a new user account.

I was using a thunderbolt dock when the problem started, but I am not using it at present. My display is a 30' LG 4K.Ĭonnection is direct to the Mac, regardless of connection type (Displayport or HDMI). I tested this with USB-C to Displayport, USB-C to HDMI, and direct HDMI on the built-in port. If your external monitor is your primary display and you attempt to login, you will immediately be dropped back to login. It completely breaks them.Īny window of any kind, be it a regular window, menu, desktop icon, or the dock that appears on the external display will immediately crash WindowServer and drop you to the login prompt.

If you use external displays, do NOT update to Beta 2. I have submitted Feedback to Apple on this. This also happens if it is assigned to the internal display. As soon as you use a custom one, it crashes. If you use the profiles built-in to macOS, or the automatic profiles provided by the display, there are no issues. Also, I found the cause: Use of custom ICC profiles.
