I have been running Xrite on my MacBook Pro, iMac, and LG ultra fine 5K =
and as long as I have the projects set to 8 bit the monitors match =
perfectly. The color is still a really good match but I see a lot more =

with the Xrite is that the software doesn=E2=80=99t have control over =
the brightness so you have to set that first and then make sure nobody =
moves it.=20

The Xrite also calibrates my Shogun Inferno and Ninga inferno and they =
also match the other screens. I=E2=80=99ve been very happy and love =
their Lightroom plug-in if you have one of their color cards.=20
