For those fortunate enough among you to have SONY Artisans, can you do us
the favor of publishing here your measured chromaticies? That information
should go a long way toward answering the above remark.
Dear Roger
The value of these figures may mean a lot to you, but I was rather
hoping for something like..... I see a better separation of
tone/colours, a better gamut in the ...direction etc.
I do find it interesting when so many apparently are moving to the
'cool' LCD's that Sony have put out the Artisan (Reference monitor in
the UK) and some are obviously sufficiently impressed to buy it. There
must be a really compelling reason for this when the downside is a
bigger lump on your desk area, it's a lot less economical in electricity
terms and heats the room in summer, nice in winter though<G> And costs
more. Even with high refresh rates they are surely not as comfortable
in use as an LCD.
As I said in an earlier posting, the automated calibration sequence is
really not of any interest....our DTP 92 and Optical do an excellent job
already, and I think we are up to making sure we set the appropriate
numbers! I should add that every piece of equipment, including light
boxes in the editing and drum scanning rooms are fed off large UPS
units. My feeling is that having a stable voltage feeding devices helps
stability and protects the electronics, as they are not being constantly
subjected to constantly varying power. Its also brilliant when the
power fails <BG> BTW the monitors hardly need any tweaking from
calibration to calibration (two week intervals) here.....perhaps this is
the reason.
Looking forward to a really convincing argument for buying the Artisan
(Reference) rather than a top of the range Sony CRT or LCD screen.
Cheers
Richard
