The ability of most consumers to do more than make a mess is

for 30 years, can't do much to align a color management system
without a GOOD meter. I can get gray scale improved, but not really
accurate.

Does anyone make cheap-but-good instrumentation? I could justify
a $500 investment. (I can hear you laughing now.)

And the Spyder will let me set up my Pioneer Kuro correctly? Because
that's
what we were discussing.

I already have a huey, which did a decent job on my computer monitor.



My experience with the spyder products and other tristimulus colorimeters
such as those from xrite and sencore (really just a version of the xrite
products) is that they are a poor choice for anything other than gray scale.
If you want to adjust a CMS properly, you need a spectrophotometer. The
minimum useful would be the i1 pro.
