"well it works..." *G*
the Mitsufishies we had looked awful and yellow at D50, but we got a couple
of Barco Calibrators last month and those look fine at D50 next to a D50
lightbox. the Mitsies never really did get close to the lightbox even at D65
but it wasn't important that they do that at the time. it was... close
enough.
maybe cheaper monitors just can't reproduce D50 and D65 is really closer to
D50 on those? <shrug> well, it works anyway.
oh wait, you didn't wanna hear that =:O
