Hi Roger, I will not comment on the two mentioned instruments. But in general it is true that a colorimeter has advantages over a spectrometer when very low signals need to be measured. Reasons are e.g. a) sensitivity: the spectro divides the few photons into 30+ bands, the colorimeter into 3-7 b) noise: a contact measurement warms up the instrument which creates noise which makes the readings of very low signals less reliable Does this make sense to you? Of course there are spectrometers available which do not suffer from the disadvantages as actions have been taken to overcome them. Best regards Claas

I was up on some popular UK web site dealing with monitors galore (tftcentral) and I stumbled on this comment, which made me pause : "An X-rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter was also used to verify the black point and contrast ratio since the i1 Pro 2 spectrophotometer is less reliable at the darker end.". Does this make any sense to anyone, here?
I'm into metrology over my ears, these days. So I'm especially sensitive to comments like that.
