X-Rite Eye One Pro spectroradiometer

Gretagmacbeth Eye One Beamer spectroradiometer

These are functionally the same and are rotated anually while the other gets sent in for recalibration.  A spectroradiometer is the most accurate way to measure the grayscale on all display types- CRT, DLP, LCD, plasma, front or rear projection, and direct view, making an optical comparator unnecessary. It gives color temperature readings and also tells me how the red, blue, and green outputs track each other at different brightness levels so I can make them as linear as possible. It also measures the device's primary colors and gamma to see how accurately they match up with NTSC and HDTV standards.  NIST certified.

X-Rite Chroma 5 Enhanced Colorimeter

A quick-reading colorimeter with far more accuracy than other colorimeters.  The Chroma 5 offers excellent low light level measurement capability, and it is appropriate for use in calibrating any video display technology. It is calibrated at the factory with a reference instrument traceable to a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) source.

Quantum Data 802BT HDTV pattern generator

Equipped with HDMI, component, RGB, and NTSC outputs, the high end Quantum Data outputs all resolutions including 1080P/24 and 1080P/60.  It's selectable RGB/YCbCr color space for the HDMI output is extremely important with some displays, and I have created many calibration friendly test patterns for it.
