Hi Marco and all in list here,
first: please, excuse my English, i am working on improvement.
This work, as noted below in quotation, is not science, this is "only"
some kind of repeatable and precise measurement - and IMO for CMS
useless measurement (even today, when majority of LCD screens is coming
from few producers). Maybe as a check of data sheets veracity ? :)
Sure, maybe you can try match gamut of particular monitor against
ISOcoated (e.g.), but i am confident, that good profiling package can
catch this behavior - maybe with some SMALL inaccuracy.
You are right about linkage between monitor and dedicated profiling
package - if you can buy this in set, and if is supposed, that customer
must use this set, then you need compare this packages - you simply need
ColorNavigator and GMb device to profile CG21, and majority of customers
will profile Nec SpectraView with SpectraView Profiler (which is
basiccolor 3), and LaCie 321 (which is from same hive like SpectraView)
with blue eye pro.
If you want compare this devices, you must consider true life.
And to you original question:
First - who said, that Apple Display is bad device? :) As you noted,
LaCie has large gamut in some areas, and by my experience even in areas
important for press work
Second - blue eye pro is VERY new software, which has been created very
quickly too. Basiccolor is good piece of software, and especially i love
their L* mode, which give me very good results.
Third: really good answer is hidden in Andrew post - larger is not
necessary better
Andrew - please, you speak about CG220 in your note? I have this device
now for few days to test it, and some peoples from GMb tells me, that
for profiling i need spectrophotometer, not colorimeter. Generally,
there are opinion, that colorimeters are better choice for monitor
profiling than spectros, but: as you noted, booth your colorimeter and
spectro can not profile your device precisely - despite this, Eizo is
delivering CG220 with GMb colorimeter ... please, can you tell me your
short opinion?
With regards

The same hardware is only half a match; since you did not use the same
software the comparison is suspect. Not that your findings are unexpected,
just that your methods are not sufficiently consistant.
Well, yes, strictly speaking your point is correct.
But please realize that I am only making a very unscientific empirical comparison here.

for example, one would not try to compare the gamut of a Sony Artisan to
that of another monitor by making a profile on it using any software other than
the Artisan's own.
On the contrary, I would do *exactly* that; measure the primaries of the
Artisan, and the other monitor, using a lab grade meter, not the Artisan device
and software. Remember, we are not talking about calibrating and profiling these
monitors, simply measuring the raw values of the primaries, which is best
done with a good lab meter and no profiles involved.
