X-Rite Display 3 Colorimeter
Officially known as the i1 Display Pro III, by any definition X-Rite’s new Display 3 colorimeter is a disruptive technology. In many ways, it is not useful to think of the Display 3 as simply a successor to the Display 2, which has been the dominant affordable colorimeter on the market for several years. The Display 3 is based on a completely different design and offers a level of performance profoundly superior to the Display 2, indeed profoundly superior to any colorimeter at anywhere near the MSRP price of $299.
It is also one of the easiest devices to use because it requires no dark reading calibration.
If I were to choose a single sub-$1000 meter for video calibrations, this is the device I would select.
