"The creation of television images that are intended to follow a standard of consistency in reproduction requires definition of a reference display, of a controlled viewing environment, and of a set of measurement procedures to enable consistent calibration of both display and environment."

"I still use the previous version [of Ideal-Lume], so I could
match it against the new LED versions and I like them so much
better, especially the slider control, which makes it a lot
easier to adjust without trying to get back behind the monitor
set-up.
I've posted about your products several times on Facebook and
on forums over the years, always advocating for the use of
bias lights in general and your product specifically. This is
a must have for professional colorists and anyone aspiring to
deliver a great grade. You need a great monitor, great eyes
AND a great environment. Your product is a big part of that
third leg.
Also, I like the light weight and I also feel a little less
like this new product would get damaged or degrade."

"Overall, we found that the Pro LED to be incredibly
consistent with its luminance output even when dimmed very
low. I would venture to say this is the most stable LED light
I have ever seen. We demoed the Pro LED for our colorist and
he was very impressed with its performance and thought it was
the cleanest bias lighting has seen."

"We find this equipment to produce exceptional video
performance."

"Every direct view or rear-projection home theater should
have one.
Highly recommended."

"We are using the Ideal-Lume in each of our edit, compression and QC rooms with great results. The feedback I'm getting is that eye strain has been greatly reduced. The rooms also look great since they've been installed.
We recently moved to a new facility and were able to design the production department from the ground up. I wanted backlighting with the proper color temperature for each room and was given your website from a friend of mine over at Fox Studios. Your website and the documentation that shipped with the units were very informative and well written. The fact that your product was endorsed by Joe Kane and Perfect Vision also made my initial purchase decision much easier.
I ordered two more today because I ended up initially forgetting one room and we are also in the process of installing an additional edit bay.
Thank you for the inquiry and a well built product."
Sincerely,

"I've been a fan of your products for a long time. I'm a
colorist mainly working on shows for all the discovery channel
networks, national geographic, pbs and others. Prior to
starting my own business I was introduced to your products at
a previous place that I worked. In my business accuracy is
paramount and the Ideal Lume Pro seemed like a no brainer for
a new suite I'm building as a monitor surround. I'll be sure
to mention your great products to other colleagues. I'm also
an author having written 6 books on postproduction and I also
regularly do online training with companies like Lynda.com and
CreativeCow, so in my next titles I'll be sure to mention how
awesome the Ideal Lume Products are.
Thanks!"
