If I recall correctly, I had heard that the software can be run in 2 different modes. You might be suggesting the "easy" mode.

Now that all of the research is behind me, I finally ordered an NEC P221W display with the SpectraView II calibration kit. Since this will be the first display that I will calibrate, I am not too proud to ask for any suggestions from those who have used the SV-II puck & software. The NEC...

Very good price. Thank you!!:cool: I have heard of Provantage, but have never dealt with them. Any personal experience?

I will be ordering an NEC P221W soon. Other than the usual NEC resellers (e.g. B&H), are there any websites that post discounted specials periodically? Thank you for your help.

FWIW, an email from Datacolor said that their Spyder3 is compatibile w/ wide-gamut displays, especially when used w/ SpectraView II software on NEC displays. I understand the counter-arguments in the quest for absolute perfection. But in the real practical world, this might be an option to...

I'm confused. It is my understanding that NEC's proprietary version of the Eye One Display 2 (i.e. the SpectraView II puck) was developed for wide-gamut displays like the NEC P221W since the "standard" Eye One Display 2 would not give accurate results.

No, I do not have the Eye One Display 2 or any other colorimeter at this time. Here is my dilemma: I plan to buy the NEC P221W monitor. Also buying the SV II kit makes sense since it was developed for the wide-gamut monitor. However, I would prefer to buy a colorimeter that I can also use on...

Pardon my tech illiteracy, Denis. but your response simply flew over my head. Allow me to rephrase: Can I accurately (at least within visible limits) calibrate/profile the NEC P221W monitor with a standard Eye One Display 2 colorimeter using either the bundled Eye One Match software or the...

That certainly is understandable. Thank you. However, I forgot to mention another concern. How accurately will the standard Eye One Display 2 (using the SpectraView II software) work with the wide-gamut NEC P221W? I understand that the NECs SpectraView II hardware is a modified Eye One...

If I were to use the Xrite Eye One Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate/profile the NEC P221W monitor, would it be preferable to use the bundled Eye One Match software or NEC's SpectaView II software? Thank you.

I wanted to thank those of you who patiently answered my questions regarding the selection of an external monitor exclusively for photo image editing. After pouring over numerous reviews & sorting through the myriad of forum threads, I have narrowed the field to 2 contenders: the NEC EA231WMi...

Is there any truth to the allegation that the Dell U2410 can be difficult to calibrate? I am thinking of purchasing this display, as well as a Xrite Eye-One Display 2. I have read a lot about this display on this forum, but do not recall any reference to ease/difficulty of calibration...

My plan is to connect a 2nd monitor to my Mac for image processing. The two monitors will be connected in the "extended desktop" mode. Thus, I can keep my tools & palettes on one screen & the image to be processed on the other. Thus, it seems like it would be irrelevant if the 2 monitors had...

How important is it to match the aspect ratio of the display of a computer with that of an external display? Thank you.

Thanks, Dave. Interestingly, I had planned to buy the i1Display2 at the same time I decided on a display. I have read several reviews regarding the brightness. Also, a couple of folks were disappointed with the black levels. Do you find that to be an issue? Kit
