OMG. The book. This is serious tin foil hat stuff: "Obama, the most radical and corrupt president ever, has surrounded himself with Liberals, Progressives, Radicals, Socialists, at least one Communist and sympathizers with Maoism and Marxism" and so on and so on.
Andrew, I sometimes thought you were unnecessarily harsh with Frans. Not anymore. This is...words fail me.
The book and his views are merely a data point to Frans mythology. He is entitled to whatever flat earth political theories or religious theories he desires and I'd never argue with him on that stuff.
I was originally harsh with Frans due to his silly article (which is still up on the Solux site) and his advise that
everyone should
always calibrate to D65 (or whatever his puff piece stated). I attempted at the time to explain how that's not so. He argued as one would expect an author of a book on politics would, with contempt and disbelief of the
facts.
He's posted very few times over the last couple of years here and on PhotoNet. But the few times he has, it's about problems he's seen with NEC displays. He always posts duplicate questions in both locations. It's always a question asking if other's see the same issues he see's as if he's looking for some solution. The answers in both locations from others have always been the same and clearly not what he wants to hear: No!
He's back again this year. A couple weeks ago about his old flicker
issue. No one reported they saw what he asked about a couple years ago with NEC displays and no one reported the same last week. That didn't go well so he's back with a new problem.
Now we have this new NEC issue of a display reporting a CCT. Or three serial numbers (which he must have figured out or SpectraView wouldn’t run). So we're back to the book, tin foil hats as simply a window into how his mind works, nothing more.
Frans has an agenda, it's directed towards NEC for some reason. As I pointed out It IS completely crazy.
He writes:
Having had in succession two 24" NEC P242W monitors with SpectraView with flicker issues that as of yet have not been resolved, I upgraded to a 24 " NEC PA242W with SpectraView, but this monitor is having different issues
Upgraded? It's new, used or refurbished? If used or refurbished where did it come from? IF new, why not send it back?
Considering all the so called problems with is no less than three NEC's, why hasn't Frans hooked up the displays to another computer system and OS outside his location to ensure it's neither those computer components or something environmental (too much tin foil?).
Anyway this is all pointless and another witch hunt and people here and over on PhotoNet need to see this is no different than Frans insistence that everyone calibrate to the same CCT value (even if he states he's evolved on that silly idea), or his idea about Obama. He isn't thinking clearly or scientifically, isn't interested in facts, has some presumably anti-NEC agenda. Don't feed the trolls!
