I just took the first step in color calibration - bought a CRT to run on my laptop. Partly due to the LCD is starting to have a few pixel problems and partly to deal with color calibration.
As a side note - I remember when inkjet printers were just coming on strong and rapidly pushed the dot matrix ones out. In looking at monitors, it sure appears that the same thing is occurring. CRT prices are way down and display models are as common as before. Most places I looked had as many LCD's as they did CRT's, if not more. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next year or two, that most CRT's are gone except for a few high end ones. Anyway, back on track - this new KDS XFlat CRT has a color temperature settings for 9300, 6500 and User - set your own mix of colors. If I pick the 6500 setting (supposed daylight - I think), it is quite a bit more yellow than my LCD was. I'm wondering if there are any quick and dirty places to look to just spot check for general color cast before I get into full/real calibration? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bruce
