![]() An uncalibrated screen is an unknown variable. #DISPLAYCAL PROFILE EXTENDED DISPLAY IDENTIFICATION DATA PROFESSIONAL#The monitor is the main place of interaction between creative professional and digital work. To base all your decisions regarding color on an unknown variable is the same as drawing on paper with the lights turned off. There's a post on AVSForum talking about the recently released i1pro3 and how it basically doesn't improve upon the previous versions for profiling displays.Absolutely, yes! Ideally, we all should work on calibrated displays that allow us to evaluate our work according to a universal standard. Colorimeters are MUCH better at seeing detail in dark tones (SNR gets too high for spectros to accurately read near-blacks in emissive/transmissive modes) but your spectro will be more accurate at obtaining accurate values for color primaries, as explained by Pat earlier.īesides getting better at reading dark values, the only way I can see spectrophotometers really "upgrading" in the near future would be to decrease the space between the grating steps, therefore measuring in higher detail to deal with very spikey spectra, but a better solution for that would be for our display technology to just get better at providing a smooth response. I'd keep your current spectro, but add an i1displaypro3 or colormunki display, and use the spectro to create a correction matrix for the colorimeter using displaycal. all at the same time, then you've just got to pick a happy medium (or be insanely diligent about switching built in LUTs). But if you're using your monitor for doing print proofing, video color grading, DICOM viewing, etc. ![]() Or pick a paper you'll be printing on most of the time and do a visual match of the white point. IMO, if the grey tones look tinted, change them until they look good to your eye and calibrate for that. You'll never have a perfect match of any screen to any print, or any screen to any other screen using a different backlight/phosphor technology. I would say you're well into the world in which scientific precision begins to break down and some element of subjectivity needs to be taken into account. This is really the most important point here- A colormunki being a spectro with a grating isn't going to shift color as badly since it's not relying on interagreement of multiple different color filters. Thin film based filter colorimeters (like the i1d3 series, SpyderX or possibly the ColorMunki Smile) are likely to be much more stable. This is in distinct contrast to dye filter based colorimeters, that have a reputation for markedly drifting over a few years. The good news is that diffraction grating based spectrometers such as the ColorMunki/i1Pro/Spectrolino spectro's seem to be relatively slow to drift, as long as they aren't given a severe knock (which could displace the optical path, causing a wavelength shift), and as long as they haven't got excessively dirty or dusty etc. The accuracy depends on the initial factory calibration and the instrument remaining stable over time and any abuse. Display) measurement, since there is no reference source it can use. There is no self calibration for emissive (i.e. Self calibration works for reflective measurement only, since there is a white reference for it to calibrate against. ![]() Quote from: GWGill on October 09, 2019, 07:02:03 pm Not really. ![]()
