For some time I've been working only with a CRT that I've been
profiling with a Gretag i1 display, and with the PFP Suite purchase
I'll be switching to the Spyder2. I'm also considering replacing my
desktop system with a notebook, that I'll also need to profile with
the Spyder2. Is there anything to look out for with regard to
notebook displays? Many manufacturers list various extra-bright
display versions -- are these harder/easier to profile/calibrate? Are
some notebook graphics interfaces (intel/via/sis/ati/nvidia)
harder/easier/impossible to calibrate with the Spyder2?
The easiest solution is a Mac Powerbook; good, bright calibratable screen, with full dual display calibration and profiling support. On the Windows side things vary considerably, and user will have to report their results with assorted models. Some are simply not fit for serious color imaging, others are fine. ColorVision uses Dell PC laptops, which offer quite reasonable screens.
