[argyllcms] Re: Calibrating SED flat screen

I've just eared about the new SED technology for flat screens, which seems very promizing. 

Many technologies make a splash at some point, trying to hold back
the opposition, and to attract funding, but they may never make it at
the end of the day. Field emission displays have been touted
for a few years, but they haven't arrived yet. Organic LED is
being talked about a lot, but hasn't arrived yet. Plasma has
been around for a long time in TV's, but has never made it into
computer monitors.

My question is: what kind of hardware will I need to calibrate such screen ? a CRT optimizer, or a LCD optimizer ? 

If the phosphor set is similar to a CRT, then a CRT instrument might
work OK.

Generally the cheaper instruments are colorimeters, and will have slightly
different calibration factors for each type of primary color set if they
are going to be accurate, whereas a spectrometer doesn't need such
calibration factors.

[Some people claim that spectrometers aren't so good with narrow band
sources such as CRT phosphor, but I haven't seen a convincing technical
explanation to back up this claim yet.]
