I've owned Optical and a DTP-92 for years and had been very happy with
that setup across a number of CRT monitors. I quit using it when I got
an EyeOne package for print profiling. The EyeOne and its software
were just more convenient to use... marginal if any noticeable quality
difference in the CRT monitor profiles versus Optical/DTP-92. I've
recently tried profiling a couple of LCDs. I've not been happy with
any of the LCD profiles that I've built with the EyeOne. This may be
due in part to my lack of experience with LCDs. The color is good, but
they seem much too light to me... shadow detail is far lighter than how
it appears on profiled CRT screens or in print. I've experimented with
BasICColor using the EyeOne as its measuring device for LCD profiles.
Those profiles were noticeably better in regards to more accurate
shadows. I still prefer an EyeOne profiled CRT. I've not tried
BasICColor on a CRT.
One definite plus in the EyeOne's favor is their license which will
essentially allow you to install it on any number of computers (within
some fairly broad guidelines). You would for example be within the
bounds of the license to install it on one of your clients computers
and profile their display as a demo of what a profiled system could do.

Is this still the case and if so does the statement:

However, I would highly recommend this product for CRT's."
Still apply?
