Just think out loud, here; isn't the problem simply that a three-band colorimeter is limited by its "filters," i.e., the three primaries it's assuming represent those of the particular monitor, and that therefore any discrepancy between what it's "looking for" and what the monitor produces creates an error? If that's the case, why not simply use a spectrophotometer, such as an i1 or (if you have one) a Spectrolino, which samples the color spectrally? They shouldn't care which monitor is being measured. Or do these instruments also have problems--perhaps with radiant sources? I've used various colorimeters (including especially the Artisan's) and the spectros named above, but I can't say I've made an exhaustive study of their relative accuracy. Anyone?

"Calibration matrix"? As in "correction matrix" perhaps? If that's what
you're refering to, the only such animal that approaches this concept is
Eizo's ColorNavigator v5 instrument-specific correction matrix. I,
personally, have not ran across any monitor/instrument bundle. But wouldn't
the LaCIE BlueEye calibrator or the NEC SpectraView or the defunct SONY
Artisan/Sequel fall into that category?


I'm wondering if anyone can comment on which monitors out there are
bundled with a colorimeter that has a specific calibration matrix
geared toward the monitor panel?
