The ColorMunki has a range of 380 to 730 nm, inclusive.

used as such.
Judging from the few specs that I have been able to glean so far --
in spite
of the lack of any publicly available detailed information on this
device --
the ColorMunki is a diffraction grating spectrophotometer (not just a
colorimeter), with one white LED as a light source, and no ability
to detect
OBAs (it is effectively UV-cut). Also, its sampling interval is
3.5nm with a
spectral reporting of 10nm, which means that it behaves similarly to
an i1
Pro in that respect. I'm not sure what its spectral range is, but I
would
guess it starts at 400nm on the higher-frequency side of the visible
spectrum, and possibly goes to 700nm on the lower-frequency side,
versus the
730nm of the i1Pro or the iSis.
So, from what I've been able to gather, it looks like a potentially
versatile tool (except for being UV-cut). But, though it seems that
it could
lend itself to professional uses, it is *not* supported so far by
ProfileMaker or Monaco Profiler or other higher-end profiling
applications,
and still remains a tool for the mass market instead.
We'll see what develops in the near future.
