Hi All,
In regards to your message:

The Sony Artisan is designed to be an absolute color reference.
I would add to Andrew's comments that, in addition to delivering a
consistently accurate view of one's photos, it also does it with ease:
configure a minimum of settings in the Artisan software, stick the
colorimeter to the screen, click a button and walk away.
For about US$1800, the Artisan offers ease of setup and ongoing use, plus
the confidence that what you see on the screen is about as true as it gets
right now. This aspect of Artisan performance is more important than
comparisons of the gamuts of monitor profiles from the Artisan display and
other displays, in no small part because another profiler might produce a
monitor profile with a larger colour gamut that doesn't accurately describe
the display.
This isn't a hypothetical concern for me; one device/software combo that I
formerly used, that fortunately now has been updated, gives a big, fat
monitor gamut on both LCD and CRT, but the actual accuracy of the onscreen
view was whacked.
The gamut of the monitor matters, but evaluating it may not be as simple as
taking This Monitor's Profile and That Monitor's Profile and comparing them
in ColorThink or ColorSync Utility. And for those folks who just want to see
what the photos on the screen actually look like, the Artisan provides that,
no fuss, no muss. If your next monitor is a CRT and you have US$1800 to pay
for it, I don't know of a better way to spend the cash.
