![]() As you can see in this teardown (don’t do this at home), there’s not a huge amount to go wrong. Thermometers also tend to be simpler devices – hence, less to go wrong. Unless you need to measure the color of a laser, a colorimeter will almost always provide a better measurement for much less money. The signal-to-noise ratio of the final XYZ values will be much higher for the colorimeter due to its increased sensor surface area, and the total amount of energy being measured per sensor. The latter may be cool, but it is also several times more expensive and it may not be the most accurate tool for the specific job you want it to do, even if it can also do several other things you don’t care about.Īn X-Rite product engineer said as much (just prior to the initial release of these devices): But you probably don’t want one if you just want to profile displays.Īs a metaphor: if you want to take someone’s temperature, you generally want a thermometer, not a thermal imaging camera. If you want a spectrometer-style device, consider the ColorMunki Photo/Design or i1Photo Pro 2. They are both colorimeters (that work kinda like the human eye, detecting very specific frequencies of light and then determining the overall colour from that), not spectrometers (which detect varying frequencies within a range). Of course, how much money may vary, too – for some reason it seems significantly cheaper in the UK than the USA right now. If you plan on using Displa圜AL and other open-source software, and you’re not a professional calibrator for who time is money, I’d say save your money and go with the ColorMunki Display – but I guess it depends on how much you value your time as well (considering you may be able to do other things while it’s churning away anyway). Personally I found the CPU side of profile and look-up table creation takes the longest, even manually taking 175 readings. Florian estimates that the ColorMunki is roughly 70% of the speed – that is, the i1 Display Pro is ~40-45% faster at taking readings. The slowest readings are for the lowest light levels those may take the same time on both. The firmware limit on sensor readings only applies if the sensor can actually take a reading in that time. ![]() * The product picture(s) is only for your reference, it may differ from the actual product.The lifespan should be equivalent – unless silvery exterior branding panels slower or faster than black ones – although the warranty may differ (perhaps depending on where you buy it).Īs for speed – “up to 5x faster” may be deceptive. * Specifications are subject to change without notice. ![]() Operating System Microsoft Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 (32- or 64-bit)(latest Service Packs installed) RAM 512 MB (2 GB recommended) Processor Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon XP or better Storage Up to 500 MB of available disk space (depending on components installed) Ports Powered USB port Monitor Resolution 1024 x 768 or higher Other Requirements Latest drivers for video card installed Dual display support requires either 2 video cards or a dual head video card that supports dual video LUTs being loaded Network adapter installed and driver loaded DVD drive or high-speed Internet connection required for software install, download, or automatic software update User must have administrator rights to install and uninstall the application RAM 512 MB (2 GB recommended) Processor Intel Core 2 Duo or better Storage Up to 500 MB of available disk space (depending on components installed) Ports Powered USB port Monitor Resolution 1024 x 768 or higher Other Requirements Latest drivers for video card installed DVD drive or high-speed Internet connection required for software install, download, or automatic software update User must have administrator rights to install and uninstall the application Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite uses ColorMunki Photo software version 1.2.1.
