    Comments about NEC Custom Calibrated Color Sensor for SpectraView II:

    I use the NEC branded colorimter to calibrate my Multisync P221W monitor. When used with SpectraView II and a compatible monitor, this tool gives excellent results.

    The driver installed automatically on my Windows 7 64 bit system and worked perfectly.

    If you have a compatible NEC monitor and SpectraView II, this tool will meet your needs.

    Comments about NEC Custom Calibrated Color Sensor for SpectraView II:

    This sensor works great with my NEC WUXi 2690II wide gamut monitor and SpectraView II. In comparison with Spyder 3 Elite, my NEC Color Sensor gives lower delta E, other differences hasn't noticed. Instead of SpectraView II it is possible use basICColor display it can to create profiles ICC v.4 and also to do hardware calibration of the monitor.

          Title says it all. My original started to give bad readings, brought my business to a halt. The new one got us up and running again.

            Comments about NEC Custom Calibrated Color Sensor for SpectraView II:

            This sensor works great with my NEC 2690 wide gamut monitor and SpectraView II. After color accuracy is 'spot on' and colors are beautiful.

            I tried using old model of X-Rite One-Eye Display V2 and it gave me greenish tint - apparently it was not suited for wide-gamut monitors.

            This one works perfectly.

              Comments about NEC Custom Calibrated Color Sensor for SpectraView II:

              It works perfectly for my NEC PA241 as I wouldn't be happier to use my own display icc profile created by this sensor and SpectaView 2 softwares. They just work seamlessly on my PA241 for creating accurate display profiles to add into my pprinter profiling workflows. Just a few clicks and about 10mins a display profiles with surprisingly low Delta E values like 0.14 will be done and ready to use in workflow like profiling printers or soft-proof. I was using Adobe 1998 inbed setting on my PA241 until now and for the extra bit better gamut and shadow tones I will stick to my SpectraView 2 profiles only. It worths the invest all in all.
