What is the color reproduction accuracy (sRGB color space coverage) for Apple Macbook Pro non-Retina models from mid-2012 and how applicable it is for photo editing?

I read that MBP Retina display covers 99% of sRGB color space. I also heard that mid-2012 non-Retina models feature an improved sRGB gamut reproduction compared to the older models. I am yet to find the actual numbers supporting that statement.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I think this question is both difficult to answer and only interesting to a small number of people (since it only applies to a single laptop model, not even all recent Macbooks but only mid-2012 non-Retina Pro-s) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I don't think that the screen resolution changed much over the half a year that your stating about. This is a pretty complete guide however, but then it depends what you have in terms of anti-glare which may have an affect on colours. The screens in a macbook air and macbook pro would not really be any different. Well I am not 100% but I thought that this would help you. If you really want to know you should email apple. That is all you can do. I have a macbook pro early 2012. If apple can't tell you then they don't have the best customer help. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ MacBook Pros and Airs do not necessarily have the same displays. I believe Pros are IPS and some Airs are TN. \$\endgroup\$
