Post by: Chuzzler on November 26, 2018, 04:26:30 am
Hi,

 Is there any advantage to having the SpectraView ii Color Calibration kit version of this monitor over the version that comes with out it and using an Xrite Display Pro?

Thanks

Software from NEC vs. X-rite's? Yes, a boat load!

SpectraView is a smart display system that integrates custom software for calibration including multiple target calibration's which can be loaded to adjust the display while loading the associated ICC profile. To quote from the manual:


“SpectraView communicates with the display monitors using Display Data Channel - Command Interface (DDC/CI) which is a two-way communications link between the video graphics adapter
and display monitor using the normal video signal cable. No extra cables are necessary. All adjustments to the monitor settings are done automatically using this communications link. It is not necessary to manually configure the monitor as all of the necessary settings are made by the software“.


Hardware (colorimeter) is the same. So if you have one, you just need the SpectraView software for the capabilities above.
