calibration photometer for lcd monitors price

In SpectraView, de-select the "Calibration On" checkbox. You can also check your user manual for directions to unlock the controls without using SpectraView.

The SVII-KIT has been discontinued as of February 2009 and has been replaced with the SVII-PRO-KIT. All LCD3090W-BK-SV (LCD3090WQXi SpectraView bundle), LCD2490W2-BK-SV (LCD2490WUXi2 SpectraView bundle), LCD2690W2-BK-SV (LCD2690WUXi2 SpectraView bundle), P221W-BK-SV (P221W SpectraView bundle) include the new SVII-PRO-KIT with the new MDSVSENSOR2. Other bundle models created before February 2009 may include the SVII-KIT, but all bundle models created after this date include the new SVII-PRO-KIT.

The -SV series are the bundles of a display monitor with the SVII-PRO-KIT (color sensor and SpectraViewII software). The naming consists of the monitor model name (LCD2690W2 is an LCD2690WUXi2), followed by "-BK" to indicate the color is black (for models available in colors other than black). Lastly the "-SV" indicates it is the SpectraViewII series bundle.

Yes. Free updates are available for download for customers who have purchased SpectraView. The license key from your original purchase will be required to install and use the software.

Unfortunately no. Before purchasing please be sure to carefully check the latest compatibility information for your system in the README file for the latest version of SpectraView.

For detailed questions regarding SpectraView please use the online feedback form. Support is also available for SpectraView and all other issues by contacting NEC.

The number of letters visible will depend on the calibration settings and viewing environment. In some cases it may be very difficult to make out the "...NTROL", especially with high levels of ambient light.

See the User"s Guide and README file included with the software and on the NEC website for further information about any specific incompatibilities or issues.

2) Confirm that your model of display monitor is supported by SpectraView. See the README file included with the latest version for a complete list of supported models.

Why are the Spyder color sensors not recommended for use with wide color gamut displays such as the LCD2690WUXi, LCD2690WUXi2, LCD3090WQXi, P221W, PA241W, PA271W and PA301W models?

Our evaluation of these devices has determined that the accuracy of measurements when used with wide color gamut displays could lead to large color errors. Therefore we do not recommend using this device on wide color gamut displays.

Spectraview software is specifically designed to work hand in hand with NEC Displays. The software works seamlessly with a compatible display and supported calibrator for color-critical applications, such as photography, video editing, animation and medical imaging. Using our software will ensure you"re getting the most out of your display.

No. The hoods for many models are available as a separate option in the accessories section, or can be purchased from online retailers who sell NEC Professional displays. The part number for the hoods are listed on the corresponding display product page.

Yes. Starting with SpectraView version 1.1.00 all Target files are cross platform between Mac, Windows, and Linux. This means it"s possible to send Target files to other users on different machines.

If you are using analog (VGa or DVI-a) video then this is not recommended because there can be variances between the analog video signal levels on different machines that can impact the calibration.

When used with the SpectraView software, NEC display monitors store all of the necessary color adjustments internally, including the 10- or 12-bit Look Up Tables. The ColorSync utility switches the display color settings by changing the Look Up Tables in the video graphics adapter. The ColorSync profiles generated by SpectraView contain linear Look Up Tables for the video graphics adapter. Because of this, SpectraView must be used to update the display monitor.

No. SpectraView will automatically regenerate the correct ICC/ColorSync profile for the current calibrated Target settings and install it on your system.

No. SpectraView is targeted specifically at providing the best possible color performance and calibration with the supported NEC displays using hardware calibration. Other displays can be profiled but not calibrated in SpectraView.

For Delta-E values of less than 2 there is almost certainly no need to recalibrate. For values higher than 3 it is important to understand what the cause is and whether it"s significant.

The calibration and adjustment process has inherent variability due to many factors such as the repeatability of color sensor measurements, and changes within the display as it is adjusted. The basic accuracy and repeatability specifications for most sensors are +/- 0.002 or higher for CIE xy, and +/- 2% for luminance. These variances alone can give rise to Delta-E values of up to 2 or 3.

When a specific Intensity value is being used for the calibration, the Delta-E value is comprised of the luminance and color differences. Differences in color are much more critical than a difference in relative luminance. Look at the results of the calibration shown in the Information window to determine if the high Delta-E value is caused mainly by a shift in color or in luminance.

High Delta-E values can also occur if a specific Intensity value is being used for the calibration and the display is not capable of achieving the specified Intensity value. The calibration will always aim to achieve the specified White Point, even if the Intensity value could not be reached. If the display can not be calibrated to achieve the specified Intensity value modify the value accordingly.

In some situations, the display Intensity will drift slightly for several minutes after it is adjusted. Since the measured value used to calculate the final Delta-E result is taken up to one or two minutes after the display was adjusted, a higher Delta-E value may be shown, even though the calibration process achieved the specified Target values during the calibration process. Selecting the Extended luminance stabilization time option in the Preferences can be used to try and minimize this effect.

The Delta-E result values shown in SpectraView are higher than those shown in other display calibration applications. Does that mean they are better at calibrating the display than SpectraView?

No. SpectraView calculates the Delta-E values using both the luminance and color differences for more realistic and accurate values. Other applications may calculate Delta-E differently.

After calibration I manually adjusted some of the monitor controls to get a better color match for my particular application. What happens the next time I calibrate the monitor?

The manual adjustments will be reset by the calibration process. We recommend that you avoid manually adjusting the monitor after calibration for this reason.

If you feel it is necessary to tweak the display after calibration, create a new Target file based from the measurements of the display after it has been manually adjusted. Then the monitor will be automatically calibrated to that particular set of characteristics the next time it"s calibrated. Use the Custom White Point tool to measure and set the white point and Intensity values.

These graphs will only show data when the monitor is calibrated to a Target that uses the DICOM response curve. DICOM is normally only used for medical imaging applications.

SpectraView will automatically install the device drivers for the iOne Display color sensor. However it is assumed that if you are using a third-party sensor, then the software that came with it will have already installed the drivers for the device. If you did not install the third-party software then the device drivers will need to be manually installed.

Drivers for all sensors are available on the SpectraViewII CD-ROM or in the \Program Files\Sharp NEC Display Solutions\SpectraViewII\Drivers folder after installing SpectraView (on 64 bit versions of Windows the folder location is \Program Files (x86)\Sharp NEC Display Solutions\SpectraViewII\Drivers).

Yes. The "in the box" video drivers included with Windows 7 do not contain the necessary support for communicating with the display monitor that SpectraView relies on. If you receive a "No communications" error, obtain and install the full drivers directly from the video graphics adapter vendor.

Unfortunately in some cases it may not be possible to calibrate the display directly using SpectraView due to compatibility issues with certain versions of Mac OS or Mac hardware. Such issues are normally out of our control, but we are always working closely with apple to resolve these kinds of issues as soon as possible. In the interim time, the following solutions may be considered:

1) If possible, calibrate the display on another Mac or PC that is supported. Since the display is hardware calibrated it can be moved to another machine and the calibration will remain valid. Be sure to also copy and associate the ColorSync profile of the display.

4) Calibrate using a non-hardware based 3rd party calibration package. Such software may have been included with your color sensor or available from the manufacturer"s website.

I would like to share the calibration results and graphs in SpectraView. Is there an easy way to access this information or make screenshots of the graphs?

Yes. In the "Information" window, right click within any of the tabs and select "Copy." This will either copy the graph as an image, or calibration information as text, into the clipboard. This can then be pasted into other applications.

In general a spectrophotometer provides more accurate color measurements than a "generic" colorimeter does when measuring most displays. However a colorimeter can be specifically calibrated against a lab grade instrument to match a particular type of display, and thus provide extremely accurate color measurements. This approach was taken with the new custom-calibrated X-Rite iOne Display V2 included in the Display Calibration Bundle.

A spectrophotometer can suffer from drift and low luminance noise issues that can cause problems—specifically when measuring and calibrating near black. In general colorimeters provide superior low luminance measurements than spectrophotometer.

The LCD panels used in the SpectraView displays have excellent color linearity characteristics and can be characterized using the much simpler shaper/matrix profiles. accurate 3D LUT profiles require a minimum of around one hundred measurements (and up to several hundred) to generate the necessary data and offer very little advantage despite the large increase in measurement time. additionally there are some compatibility issues with various software applications when using 3D LUT type display profiles.

At this time SpectraViewII is only available for purchase within the US and Canada. In Europe please contact your regional NEC sales office for information on what calibration options are available. In Japan SpectraViewII is sold under the SpectraNavi name.

Yes. The SpectraViewII calibration system is developed by NEC and optionally includes an NEC branded X-Rite iOne Display V2 color sensor. SpectraViewII can be used with any supported display model and is sold both as a complete kit bundled with a display, and as an add-on product.

In Europe SpectraView Profiler includes a display monitor with hood, custom calibration software developed by basICColor, and each display is individually certified. It is not possible to purchase and use the SpectraView Profiler software with a non-SpectraView Profiler display.

The new SVII-PRO-KIT includes the MDSVSENSOR2, an NEC branded X-Rite iOne Display V2 color sensor that is custom calibrated for increased measurement accuracy with our wide color gamut displays such as the LCD2690WUXi, LCD2690WUXi2, LCD3090WQXi, and P221W. It is backward-compatible with standard color gamut displays. The SVII-KIT included an NEC branded X-Rite iOne Display V2 but did not have any custom calibration.

I have two supported NEC display monitors that I would like to use in a dual monitor configuration on one machine. Do I need to buy two SpectraView licenses?

Yes, but it is currently limited to customers with large installations of NEC display monitors. To learn more, please submit a request using the online feedback form.
