WHATS THE COLOUR OF MY MUNKI?

Just been playing with Work’s new X-rite ColorMunki on my iMac and 24″ BENQ connected to my PC. So far I got to say I like it. I makes up for what seems like all most all the short comings of the Display One while not limited the user in too heavily. I like how it can use ambient light readings to chose a suitable brightness for the display.

However personally I found its  love for low values of 80 cd/m2 to be just way to low. After a little reading it seems fooling it with a desktop lamp to “simulate” viewing conditions as posed to working conditions allow me to set the brightness higher then limited 80 to 140 that’s only present from the main screen. Tomorrow it will be test chart building time for the two Epson Stylus Pro 4800.

For $600 this device will profile screens, printers and projectors.
