Karl,

Any word on whether / when BasICColor Display will support the HP DreamColor Display? I haven't heard back...

Thanks,

Hi Marco,

if you feed them peanuts, all you can expect is monkeys <g>

I don´t think there are "better" or "worse" technologies here, it´s a
question of implementation.
My experience is that a spectro with a 20 nm or even 10 nm resolution
is not sufficient. Equally insuffient is a colorimeter with the
"wrong" calibration matrix. And the matrix will always be off, if it´s
not tailored to the respective panel type (backlight, LCD filter
characteristics).
A 1nm or 2nm spectro is doubtlessly the "better" instrument – if money
(and ease of use) is irrelevant.
I prefer a panel-optimized colorimeter over any of the "affordable"
spectros. That´s why basICColor display will have a colorimeter/panel
optimization in one of the next versions.
