I'll try this again:
I had posted a question a couple of weeks ago about what people think
of using the 20" iMac G5 as a "dirt cheap demo machine" for
demonstrating consistent color. I got one for my wife, and it is
quite nice. The monitor is gorgeous. I couldn't calibrate her old
iMac G4 to save my life, but the G5 seems to be really stable and (to
my jaundiced eye) fairly linear.
At least her prints look a whole lot like what's on her monitor in a
D65 lit room.
I want to set up a quick "color check" system here at work. I am
currently using a couple of LaCie ElectronBlue 19" LCDs, and they are
nice. However, their performance seems about equivalent to what I get
with my wife's computer. They are being driven by an old G4
Quicksilver and a Windows machine.
I ain't about to plunk down nearly 7K for the nice Eizo. Since I am
not trying to perform actual color science here (I just want a demo
room, and a place for my engineers to verify the basic fidelity of
their images), I think that the iMac G5 may be a good compromise.
I am wondering if you color-scientist types might have an opinion on
whether or not this seems feasible.
