$185 was still a good price. I rarely see it below $190. This current sale price of $142 is pretty hot IMO.

Anyone have any input on this or the other one I was looking at is a ColorMunki?

This is what I use and I like it. Mind you, I'm no graphics professional but I do like to tweak things. I've posted colour profiles for both my HP Omen 32 (around the Net) and my Acer ET322QU (here at RFD) and received many thanks. FYI - I got my Colormunki used off of Craigslist for $35 USD plus shipping but you have to be patient enough and willing to search CL.

Thank you, looks like I am going to wait for BF/CM.. There's a good chance the ColorMunki will go cheaper and then I can..
