Thanks for the update, Rick. I just returned from an 8-day trip and
found my LP2480zx waiting... it didn't take long to get it out of the
box and kick the aging old Artisan out of the way. In true HP
fashion, all of the documentation / software assumes Windows. One
insert admonishes the user to "check for the latest firmware" before
proceeding - Windows-only, of course. None of us really care about
the documentation anyway, and the monitor looks to live up to its
quickly-earned excellent reputation. The real question will be
calibration / profiling software and hardware. Also note that the
hood is not included... although there were enough cables included to
open up a shop.
Anyone know if ColorEyes Display or BasICColor Display plan to
support this monitor in the near future, with either an Eye-One Pro
or the new colorimeter?
Thanks again to Chromix for a great deal. It would be nice to
replace our Eizo CG 210 with another LP2480, but we'll have to make
do with the Eizo for a while.

Bob, Lorenzo, et al:
The LP2480zx certainly is impressive. Here is what we know about the
calibration package for the HP DreamColor LP2480zx so far:
Product wording from HP:
· KZ300AA Advanced Profiling Solution (Calibration Kit) At
$349...
The kit contains a colorimeter and related software (for both
Microsoft® Windows® and Apple Mac OS X; ....
Our further investigation reveals:
- the colorimeter is an Eye-One Display 2 enhanced to sense the
wider range of the DreamColor
- the HP calibration software does allow more intimate digital
functional control over the monitor (than a 3rd party product), and
allows storage of the data to the higher bit-depth LUT memory on
the monitor.
Certainly other questions exist:
- does the HP software work with other sensors?
- will an emissive spectrophotometer (i.e.,: i1Pro) be effective?
- what are the other functions available in the software?
We will be getting the KZ300AA Calibration kit soon to test on our
LP2480zx and will report our findings.
