I'll probably never sell the PR. When I think that I paid like $20k for it and I could now get like maybe $1500 (not really), it just doesn't seem worth selling. On top of that, PR is really getting behind. Last time I had it recalibrated some months back I think it cost me around $1500 for the service. I may get a JETI because I really want better resolution if I bother.

Check the date code on the Dallas chip. I wouldn't put one in that 'was a few years old'. No offence, but with the possibility of the tubes spot burning due to the lithium chip failing, I wouldn't risk it.

Frankly, I don't know if the 1211 is any better than the PR650 in the real world. I’ll decide after some months of use. However, the 1211 can measure all the way down to 4nm and the 650 only has an 8nm resolution, so in theory the Jeti is better. Also in theory the Jeti may work with some future technologies that the PR650 does not have the resolution to handle. The Jeti also should be better at low luma levels, but I won't be using it on low light patterns because that's what the K10-A is for.

Another nice thing about the Jeti is that it's way smaller than the PR650. With the K10-A, there really isn't any good way to fit all my tools in my large carry on Pelican case. The Jeti solves that problem and I can now get some new foam made that will hold and protect all the tools nicely again. Also the Jeti is USB powered so I don't have to bring a separate power brick like with the PR650.

Realistically I most likely won't use the PR650 at all anymore. I'll keep it around for backup.

I offered the PR650 to Lumagen to use on permanent loan with the condition that I can have it back whenever I may need it. Jim isn't going to take the PR650 until he actually needs to use it for something, so it will most likely stay here forever Smile

Wow, I had to look up the Klein as Kal doesn't seem to offer it anymore. The Klein can read down to .00006 ft/lmbs, if I read that correctly. If that is correct, then it can easily handle a CRT. Man I would hate to see what your CIR90 looks after you have calibrated it with these two instruments. Smile

It dawned on me after talking about laser/Leds that you might become even busier. With laser/Led offering longer life and a consistent color, more people might be less inclined to go the DIY route. I can see people saying "Why bother with DIY" when a cal should last a couple of years depending on use.

The manufacturers are doing a good job of confusing people. I am sure the sales people at the stores probably exacerbate the situation. Interestingly Technicolor might have a solution for computers.

Didn't they try this color match thing 15 years ago with sRGB?
