![]() Gone are CRT monitors, replaced by LCD screens not only offering standard color gamuts (roughly covering sRGB) but also wide-gamut monitors capable of displaying colors exceeding the Adobe RGB range. Display technology, however, has advanced considerably. Kudos to Datacolor for bucking this trend with their Spyder products. Summaryįor nearly a decade, the general trend in the most common display measurement hardware has been to trade off measurement accuracy and robust construction for lower manufacturing cost and increased measurement speed. We measured the accuracy in white, middle gray and darkest usable black. The display models ranged from sub-$300 basic graphics-editing monitors to high-end (and high-dollar) state-of-the-art panels. ![]() These included both standard (sRGB compatible) and wide-gamut (Adobe RGB) displays and Cold Cathode Fluorescent (CCFL) and both RGB and White LED backlight technologies. We compared the measurement accuracy on a range of commonly available display panels. An inaccurate instrument will not produce an accurate monitor profile. Determining why requires investigating whether the measurement hardware is up to the task or if the software is the culprit. Some monitor profiling packages work well with certain displays but not with others.
