I am wondering why you calibrate these displays that often? I was
under the impression that LCD displays are stable and do not require
much recalibration after the initial calibration. Can we please get
some comments on this?

Hi,
I'm late to this thread but have some experience I thought I'd
share. I have both plastic bezel and aluminum bezel ACDs in my
studio plus we just bought a handful of IMac G5s to deploy on
magazine Photo Editors desks for the purpose of viewing and
softproofing digital images. I have found that the iMac G5 20" is
both clear, sharp and stable; we calibrate them with iOne Display
colorimeters and PM5 once every 7-10 days and have seen no
appreciable drift. The wide white bezel of the iMac G5 feels
different to the eyes in use then does the ACDs thinner clear or
aluminum bezels. I suspect that in low ambient light the point would
be moot. I found the iMac G5 20" display luminence to be very
bright, I only wish that the lowest brightness setting brought the
CdM2 down below 130, out of the box the minimum brightness was about
150 CdM2.
I found that my photo editors enjoy using this machine very much. We
even had some success putting a hood on the iMac G5, which
ironically necessitated my cutting a slot in the side panel of the
hood to enable access to the side loading CD/DVD slot. The hood
helped to lessen the impact of the white bezel. If I had a choice,
clearly, I'd choose an ACD or an Eizo or Quato but don't be afraid
of the iMac G5; I think it serves quite well as a color-managed
softproofing station.
