The ones at the Media Center where I teach are hopelessly bright. Which exact production run makes a diference.

Re: Monitor Calibration System
My Spider 2 calibrated iMac 24 is a perfect match for my Epson R2880 and R 2400 output with the brightness turned all the way down. Perhaps I just got lucky, but it's a completely adequate monitor for both printing and publishing. I have an Apple Cinema Display 23 sitting alongside, an dit doesn't show as good a range of highlight and shadow detail as the iMac 24. However, I have heard all the complaints, and the brightness does have to be turned all the way down for photographic rendering.

Re: Monitor Calibration System
Yes. It is okay. On the second try I got my laptop and external monitor to match perfectly (laptop + docking station = desktop work computer), and the laptop matches the home desktop nicely. The primary problem is that one cannot adjust luminance, and iMacs are =bright= even when turned down as much as the OS allows. Some early units had defective sensors, that gave monitors a magenta cast. So, you would buy a used one at some risk.

Monitor Calibration System
Any one have any experience with the Pantone Huey Pro MEU113 system for monitor calibration? Jerry -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
