@NireBryce asked:

today I stumbled on the fact that the Thinkpad P71 has an integrated colorimeter

and it seems like something you'd like to know about

hahahaa hold the fuckling phone, hot damn, get out of here this is genius. the color sensor is in the palmrest. you just hit a button, then close the screen and it does a bunch of spectrum sweeps or whatever

some brain genius at lenovo went "hey guys i just noticed this: when you close the laptop the screen is right on top of the palmrest. i wonder if we can do something with that"

dudes rock

A colorimeter is a high precision light sensor that you place against a computer display, and it returns a (theoretically) completely objective reading of the color of the screen at that spot. You can then run software on the PC which puts a particular color on the screen, then reads the value from the sensor, and by detecting the difference between what color SHOULD have been displayed and what actually WAS, it can calibrate the monitor to display images with much more accurate color. They are essential tools for anyone who works with graphics.
