The software package which came with the basiCColor squid was basiCColor Display 2.5.4 originally written by Integrated Color Solutions (no relation to the cleverly named pretenders above) who sold the software and trademarks to German company basiCColor three years ago. State of the art, for a long time, 2.5.4 has dated badly in terms of profile speed (think ten to fifteen minutes to generate a single profile, with quite a bit of manual intervention)…. With the inefficient, labor intensive backed involved in trying to do an upgrade (if you lose your password to your user account, the basiCColor.de website is not even able to send you a new one – you have to call them), no wonder they need triple license fees.

Knocking down the ADC D65 profile to a target maximum luminance point of 173 cd/m2 gave a result of 162 cd/m2 which didn’t blow out any whites and gave very natural colour which matched the Samsung 213T well enough. The Apple Cinema Display has a bit more kick and a little more depth in the shadows but one could work on the same pictures on either monitor and get very comparable results.

Unstable images on a CRT can induce tooth grinding subsconciously at night, since an unstable flashing image is disturbing to the brain’s nervous system.
6 CommentsThe annoyance of trying to buy computer memory in Europe. You get all of these great prices from North America but most of the companies won’t deliver outside North America. Those that do, charge ridiculous delivery fees ($33 and up). If they do send it, you face customs and paperwork on the receiving end.
