Life used to be so simple. All displays were based on CRTs; you could calibrate them with a couple of simple test signals and a tristimulus calibrator and be reasonably sure that they would match, even displays from different manufacturers. Plasma displays followed, but since they were also phosphor-based, the same assumptions generally applied.
Both CRT and plasma technology have been superseded and we are now faced with a dizzying array of display technologies. It seems we can match them either by eye or by meter but not both simultaneously. We'll explain why this is so and what to do about it; we'll also talk about SMPTE's upcoming standards for HDTV reference white and routine display measurement and calibration, and how they differ from past practice.
