4 | NEC MULTIPROFILER - USER’S GUIDE Precautions: • (Mac OS only) Do not use the ColorSync control panel to switch between different monitor calibrations by selecting different monitor color profiles. Always use the MultiProfiler application to configure the display profile. This is because all of the necessary color adjustments, including the Look Up Tables, are stored in the display monitor and these must be set by MultiProfiler. The ColorSync profiles generated by MultiProfiler contain linear Look Up Tables for the video graphics adapter. • Extreme care should be taken when using the DisplaySync...
