Albeit that I agree with your general emphasis on monitor calibration; the above argument is another example of the poor use of science to prove a less than watertight standpoint. In fact, if I remember back to my O-level Maths, I think I can still remember the math for proving that 1=2. So science is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. Anyway, enough about science. It seems that the current recommendations in the �200 (entry level) mark for monitor calibration are as follows (in no particular order): 1. Gretag Eye One Monitor �199 +vat 2. BasicColor + Eye One / X-rite DTP92 / basicColor meter (Squid) 3. Optical + Spyder Be warned that we have had continued problems creating profiles for LCD displays using the Gretag Eye One Monitor package - purchased 7 days ago. However, I would highly recommend this product for CRT's. Any of the above solutions are 100% better than no monitor calibration at all, and 99% better than Adobe Gamma. Emphasis on monitor calibration cannot be stressed enough. How much you pay is down to your pocket not some justification in time, place and space.
