Derrick,
<<And for those that had a glimpse at MacWorld SF, in
the Eizo booth we had ColorNavigator 2.01 (Eizo software) doing the 10bit
calibration on the CG21BK (with hood).>>
Yes, it was sitting side by side with an Artisan, with both monitors
displaying the same image in Photoshop. While the Eizo has many wonerful properties,
the Eizo system was much warmer with a pronounced brown cast (in comparison
with the Artisan) depending where you looked. Opening a grayscale in PS on both
monitors showed the same shift conclusively. I spoke with the rep who said he
thought the matching was perfectly acceptable, and maybe it is for many
applications. I circled back a few times during MacWorld to see if it got any better
and also watched as they calibrated both. LCD monitors are great and I sooooo
want to get that Artisan off my desk (so I can have my desk back) but I have
yet to find any LCD/Calibrator combo that comes close to the neutral gray
balance of the Artisan or is as good a predictor of final output. If that's the
state of the art then maybe we really do need an integrated LCD/calibrator
solution (a la Artisan).
