Having just spent some time today on one of these LaCie monitors I
would like to offer a few observations of my own:
- The colorimeter has "Minolta" written just inside the cup. It does
not appear to be the same colorimeter as the Sequel.
- The colorimeter, in conjunction with the monitor's serial
connection to the Mac make a compelling calibration system. I have
not seen a system that worked quite this well for a while. It made a
very nice profile and was easy to use - a few complaints though..
+ you can only select white points in major steps - D50, D65, etc -
no 5500 or 6000 or whatever available.
+ the profiling software does not select the profile in the
ColorSync control panel so it is not automatically in use.
+ there is no "vcgt" calibration tag put into the monitor profile. I
see this as a potentially serious drawback. I understand that the
calibration can be performed in the monitor guns but if you select
any profile in the monitors control panel, its calibration curves
will be loaded and there is no way to get back to "uncalibrated"
without rebooting - stupid!
Annoying things aside - I still liked it.
Am I talking about the same monitor/puck system as you folks?
er, no, you aren't. That's the old LaCie monitor with the serial
connection and the minolta calibration.
the new ones are USB with the sequel puck.
