That was a very clear summation, Robin. Thank you.
As for the mentioned degree of inaccuracy in shadow detail, how degraded do
the results appear, in most cases, when one compares the
calibration/profiling produced by means of a spectrometer to those produced
using a colorimeter specifically tuned for that same monitor?
Would the differences be glaring or subtle? And what visible forms do they
take? Banding? Color casting/poor neutrality? Color seepage? A combination
of things?
Thanks again, Robin.
Marco
