Apple Studio Calibration Advice

Hi, I have just purchased a Studio Display and would like some advice as to whether it needs calibration or left at its factory setting profile currently (Apple Display P3-600 nits)

I am an amateur photographer and use Photoshop for editing my images although I do not print any and mainly use them on Flickr etc

I have been doing a bit of research and a lot of sites say the Display needs calibrating with the Calibrite,Datacolor etc calibration devices.

I thought I would ask on here for some advice as to whether I should stay with the Apple Display settings or purchase a calibrator baring in mind that I only post images online and not for printing.

Any advice will be very welcome

I myself would probably keep it as it came but if you want to you can calibrate it. It would not harm anything. It would be worth a try, especially if you will be using Photoshop.

Here are the Apple Support links on how to do so:

Customize the calibration using the Pro Display Calibrator - Apple Support

Calibrate your Mac display - Apple Support (IL)

There are also many YouTube videos related to this if you need further information.
