With BasicColor Display 5 I have better DeltaE than Spectraview II, but Basiccolor does a hard/soft calibration and doesn't have access to internal LUT 3D as Spectraview II.

I use whichever one is closer to me at the time I need to calibrate, so I wouldn't say one is better or worse than the other.<br /><br />X-Rite makes them both.ronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-81959305662847077802012-06-15T09:00:42.133-07:002012-06-15T09:00:42.133-07:00I red your article.

From what came in my boxes they are identical.<br /><br />3 - In theory they should be interchangible, but it could be "unsupported". You should only use NEC Specatraview software to calibrate your NEC display. See my choosing a calibration device article (link in the top right of my blog).<br /><br />Ronronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-34617235789446157232012-06-12T06:29:10.765-07:002012-06-12T06:29:10.765-07:00Hi.

Is the same for calibrating NEC PA Series? <br /> <br />2) Does Nec Spectrasensor have plastic support to calibrate projector?<br /> <br />3) Is branded Nec version compatible with X-Rite software i1 Profiler as a standard i1 Display Pro? Do they have same firmware?Gianlucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513900564872216664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-87609146355745936332011-11-13T23:13:55.098-08:002011-11-13T23:13:55.098-08:00Hi Bronx Prof,

If anything, I'd say the old ones seem to be more sturdy.ronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-8614680745885570592011-11-12T05:48:50.293-08:002011-11-12T05:48:50.293-08:00Unfortunately, your review of the Nec Spectra Sens...Unfortunately, your review of the Nec Spectra Sensor Pro came out a week after I had ordered the bundle from Mac Mall. I had no idea that it had been discontinued. Should I spend the extra $200 for the new calibrator rather than use the discontinued one which came with the monitor? How much of a difference is there in accuracy?Bronx Prof.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02198055378313338583noreply@blogger.com
