I'm not sure you get the benefit of hardware calibration using instruments other than NEC's own puck? Roger Sent from Samsung Focus WP7 -----Original Message----- From: Armand Rosenberg Sent: Monday, September 26, 2011 2:29 PM To: colorsync-users@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: NEC PA271W-BK-SV Thanks to everyone for the great feedback. I have a couple of follow-up questions, if I may: 1) There is a choice of DVI-D or DisplayPort input on this monitor. If I understand correctly, the difference boils down to 8-bit vs 10-bit (per color) communication with the video card. Is this worth worrying about in practice, and/or is it now even possible to take advantage of the extra 2 bits? 2) Should I be concerned about the profile quality when using an older-vintage i1Pro with the SpectraView II software?

You get hardware calibration from the software, whether Spectraview or BasicColor.

Finally landed a very nice NEC PA271 unit on my desktop tonight and it is a beauty. I almost get lost in the huge 2560 x 1440 resolution - just 120 pixel shy of a 30" monitor resolution when you think of it? Very uniform, very crisp, incredible gamut. With the drivers on the supplied CD, Windows 7 recognized the display in no time. Only have praise for this monitor. And, yes, with MultiProfiler, it's a cinch to dial in any white point chromaticites, gamut and transfer function one cares to use. I can say I've had the chance to use and work with the whole PA series, from the 24" PA241 all the way to the 30" PA301 and I can say that "quality runs in the family". I only wish that NEC had some kind of policy to make the SDK available for hobbyist like me, though L / Roger Breton
