New Monitor Quality Analyzer
gives you the tools to find out just how good your display actually is; and compare it to other displays using easy-to-read maps of your screen’s uniformity, allowing you to determine which areas of your screen are precise enough for the most demanding work
New Display Graph
allows you to compare the gamut of multiple displays to one another, as well as to standard color spaces like sRGB and AdobeRGB. This helps you understand what colors your display can reproduce

New Software Brightness Control
allows owners of iMac and other displays with limited controls to work with these displays in more desirable, dimmer environments, and to match them to other displays
