New X-Rite Wide Gamut Display Calibration Devices

i1Display Pro ($269.00 MSRP) 
Professional Display Calibration for the Most Demanding Color Perfectionists

X-Rite has announced some cool new calibration devices this week that are great for wide gamut displays and projectors. These are not meant to replace the current ColorMunki Photo which is a spectrophotometer that can be used to create printer profiles, but rather these replace the old Pantone Huey and i1Display2 devices.

ColorMunki Display ($189.99 MSRP)
Advanced Display Calibration Made Easy for Color Perfectionists

Each solution comes complete with our most technologically advanced colorimeter bundled with new display and projector profiling software to ensure unrivaled color accuracy and consistency now and in the future.

X-Rite's next generation colorimeter delivers unrivaled color accuracy, repeatability, and device longevity.

• supports all modern LCD display technologies including  CCFL, White LED, RGB LED, and Wide Gamut display technologies as well as projectors.

Innovative Software Features

ColorMunki Display and i1Display pro each incorporate new software technologies to make the match between your display and printer more perfect:

• Ambient Light Measurement - automatically determine the optimum display
• Ambient Light Smart Control - automatically monitor changes in ambient light conditions
• Flare Correct™ -compensate for flare light (or glare) falling on surface of display
• Intelligent Iterative Profiling - an adaptive technology that produces optimized results for maximum color accuracy
