Interesting.


The thing is that the "-qh" made the process take around 90 mins, maybe more :)


That's quite long, but probably because the sensor reading is so slow
for dark colors. That's the tradeoff - you can make it more repeatable (and
possibly accurate) with long integration times, but add that to -qh,
and it may take a while!
Drift in the equipment may be an issue over that time period too.


I understood the Eye One Display was much more accurate when it comes to

The main advantage of the Eye One Pro is that it is going to be more
accurate with any spectrum that a colorimeter has been specially
calibrated to. The disadvantage is that it tends to collect less
light than a colorimeter, so you really need a longer integration time
to give a repeatable reading.


do you think the Eye One Display is more accurate than the s2 when it comes to 
DE measurements ?
I'm still hesitating to upgrade, considering only the red levels are off <30 
IRE when used

My experience with my particular Spyder 2, is that it is in worse
agreement with all the other instruments I have, when measuring
my CRT screen. Now I have no way of knowing whether this is typical
of all the Spyder 2's out there (I would need to test a few more),
but it makes me wonder about them.
