Bit of a Con Really - Follow-up ...

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

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. Leonard |

In that case, you might be able to rig up some way of using it on your Pioneer. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."
