"" Now take that part with a grain of salt, I've seen the breakdown video, it's not a weather proof seal of any sort, just a quick oring and snap plastics. Whereas the i1Display has a tight chamber against the elements. a fan won't help)ĪLLLEGEDLY (UNCONFIRMED), this probe also lasts longer than the spyder, because the spyder has an exposed filter. (don't blow a fan at it or anything, we're talking about sensor surface temp. (warms up while measuring receive heat and light from monitor) I had a spyder, and I noticed it can be +/- 0.2k depending on how warm it gets. ![]() It should have a more accurate color temperature on short measurements, because it's slightly taller than the spyder, so the distance of the sensor away from the monitor will keep it cooler. (not a huge deal if you only have a few monitors, as you'd probably run it over night anyway). It also reads alot faster than the spyder, this is useful because more accurate calibrations (increasing measurement patches) take hours, so 20-30% faster read speed is significant. Good for OLED, and more accurate scaling near black. The advantage is it can read a bit darker than the spyder because it has a lens in the front.

((UNCONFIRMED) Potentially more durable design)ĭoesn't last forever, within anywhere from 3 to 10 years, it will become inaccurate unless sent back to factory for readjustment, (why not just buy another one) (Runs slightly cooler, leading to more accuracy) (More accurate reads near black, the lens pulls in more light, (IMPORTANT)) (More accurate color temperature on short reads) Not sure, but this probe may be supported. Latest Samsung TVs work with a new Autocal software suite developed with the calman people. The Lutbox should make it input independent in SOME cases, but there's no way to verify a game console, cursory verification of bluray player is possible with calibration discs. However, Full 3Dimension correction table calibration requires PC or a Lutbox. This does work for calibrating TVs as far as simple 1Dimension correction, (using TV's superficial settings menu). ![]() The end result after calibration may reduce the contrast ratio anywhere from 700 to 1 all the way down to 500 to 1. They may claim 1000:1 contrast ratio, but only if their max brightness has an off white tinge. This is often 1 of the methods used by manufacturers to cheat the contrast ratio specification. On an LCD panel, Depending on the color of the Backlight and the linearity of the Crystal polarizer, it may not be able to display its maximum brightness in a standardized neutral white. It's important, because it has a direct impact on the vividness of the display. It doesn't matter who you are, or what you do, if you use a computer, this will make it better.Įven if a monitor comes precalibrated, that calibration Drifts Significantly within the first 300-1000 hours, until it's just BAD.Ĭontrast ratio is the brightest the screen can get (near white) vs the darkest (black). The difference is equivalent to the first time you used an SSD computer. Every monitor/laptop you will ever buy will be better. If you think your OLD-monitor looks bad, again you're wrong.Ĭolor calibration will change your life. If you think your NEW-monitor looks good, well you're wrong.
