For this to work, a studio standard is typically set for monitor calibration,
which becomes more complex as the montiors and spaces involved become more
different from one another. Do you dull all the CRT's down to a white luminance
level that the oldest, most worn out monitor can meet? Do you choke the much
brighter LCCs down to emulate the CRTs? Do you enforce a single background
luminance level (ambient lighting level) on all users? Do you make the Editor's
ocean view office as dark as the color correctors basement studio? Can I.T.
really enforce all this stuff, of will their standards be ignored if they made
excessive demands on people? Thats why relative, rather than absolute, monitor
matching is so much more practical for most situations.
