So that's why my hair look so gray and thin now ;-)

Hope they'll come down in price in time.

OK. Makes sense.

My eyes tend to adapt too well and come to make believe in what I see. I

Or you can do like me and some others and trust your colorimeter to a
reputable lab who *has* a CS-1000 and ask them to give you a correctino
factor for LCDs and CRTs. That cost far less (about $600) than a CS-1000 and
is just as accurate, provided the measured spectrum bears any ressemblance
to the ones that were used at the time to correct for your instrument.
