The Xrite deal is "Purchase a MonacoOPTIXXR or SekonicX-Rite Digital Suite
between October 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005 and receive a FREE upgrade to
MonacoOPTIX Pro." Adorama have the Optix XR for USD219.
Best I know the difference between Optix XR and Optix XR Pro is that Pro
offers:
* Monitor profile validation - check the accuracy of your profile and find
out-of-gamut colours.
* Monitor drift trending - see how displays drift over time, and establish
profiling schedules.
* Workgroup display matching - have multiple displays in a workgroup set to
the same luminence values.
* Calibration curve editing - fine tune the colour balance and white point
of your display.
* Advanced mode with OSD testing, black bias control and calibration to
target values.
* Optional table-based profiling - provides greater accuracy.

Subject: [OM] Re: ICC Profiles
After just returning home and looking at the product box I see I was still
confused on the product name. XR Pro is what I originally intended to buy
but what I ended up with is called EZcolor Suite. It includes the
colorimeter and enhanced colorimeter software of XR Pro plus the IT8 targets
and software to profile flatbed scanners and printers using the scanner as
input for the printer. I paid $313 at the "seminar special" price. My
recollection of the difference between XR and XR Pro is that the software is
supposed to be sophisticated enough to tell you when your monitor is a
basket case and can no longer be reliably profiled. Or something like that.

>>I must not have made myself clear. The Monaco kit's major ingredient is a
colorimeter to profile the monitor. I've already done that part. It was
quick and easy but I saw no obvious difference between images displayed
before and after the profiling. Of course, the monitor came with an ICC
profile when it was new so I suppose all I was doing was correcting drift
since new.
