How about the selected white point? I bring this up because your comment
above brought back memories of my old PressView SR. I bought the
PressView new from Radius, and within three or four months it could no
longer maintain 75cd/m2, although I was assured by Radius tech that a
slightly lower luminance was still acceptable. Maybe six months later,
however, it couldn't even do 70cd/m2, and that's when I started shrinking
my screen to maintain luminance. By the time I passed it on down the
office food chain, the display margins had shrunk from about 3/8" when
new, to about 3/4".
Now the old PV, it's meter pulled and temperature raised, is a nice,
full-screened monitor for my assistant, but trying to get years of D50
use out of it was like pushing water uphill with a broom.
