I hadn't spotted that one - thanks

Given I know several people who specifically went for the S2e because of the
'native' setting I'd initially be minded to warn people not to upgrade.

Certainly with my Apple 23" monitor I've found that calibrators with a 'native'
setting tend to give me a better greyscale.

So I'd ask (if it's correct - I have not tested things) why 6500K? it's not like most
people using the S2e are going to be wanting precise settings for proofing...  Is
this related to the 'native' performance of cheap(er) lcd screens (which make up
the bulk of the market) or perhaps trying to make a room full of monitors look
a bit more alike? --or, putting tinfoil conspiracy hat on-- has 'marketing' been
at work ;-)
