Quickstart — Display Inspector
You may want to start with some more information about Understanding Computer Displays
Important notes
- Display Inspector requires a new M1-based MacBook Pro to have OS 12.3.1 or later when using XDR displays, earlier OS versions are not supported.
- If using Catalina (OS 10) or Big Sur (OS11) we recommend updating to Monterey (OS12)
Before you start be sure that:
- Your monitor can be calibrated.
- Your measurement Instrument is supported
- You have downloaded the macOS or PC/Windows version of CC Display

You do not need to have a ChromaChecker Account to test the functionality of Display Inspector using this demonstration account.
