I don't want one custom $350 colorimeter for every monitor I ever own,
with its own custom software, and with variable >compatibility with other
software I choose to use. I will no longer buy into a closed system.
But I thought that a custom colorimeter is the only way to go if you want
the best results (apart from an exotic spectroradiometer or something like
Basiccolor Discus). You can buy cheaper general purpose colorimeters, but
they won't give the same results as one designed for a particular type of
monitor.
My old Sony Artisan (that was highly thought of) had a custom colorimeter.
The new Eizo's have built-in custom colorimeters that apparently outperform
GP colorimeters and spectrophotometers.
You have the choice of a GP device (with variable results) or a custom
device (with good, consistent results). If you bought the wrong one, then
tough! Or complain to HP or NEC that they didn't make it clear that they
were selling custom devices. I don't really see that it is Xrite's fault for
selling HP or NEC custom devices that are better for their monitors than the
GP devices they sell for anyone's monitors.
