MillimeterEdit Tools: Flanders Scientific SR-1

Maybe you don't think about it, but the latest-generation LCD monitors that use LED-based backlighting can't be set up accurately with standard colorimeters — which are fine for setting up fluorescent backlit LCDs or CRTs. LEDs put out more pure, narrow-bandwidth RGB primaries, but older-style meters can't read them consistently. Flanders Scientific claims to solve that with its new SR-1 spectroradiometer. The SR-1 employs adiffraction-type process to measure a monitor's light, similar to that used in the industry-standard model developed and sold by Minolta. But this made-in-the-U.S.A model strips out that product's optics and readout screens, enabling it to price about one-third of Minolta's tab.
