<p>Their burgeoning political activism about that time clinched it for me.</p>

<p>What activism is that? Do you mean advocating for laws and regulations for things like safety belts, airbags, clean water, etc.?</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I normally respect <em>Consumer Reports</em> but I remember years ago they panned the Dyson vacuum cleaner for some reason. I bought one anyone and it's been great for at least ten years. Still going strong.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>That was for dust emissions if I remember correctly.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>The price of the product has a lot of weight in Consumer Report review.</p>

 

</blockquote>

<p>Not true. They may label a product a "Best Buy," meaning it tested well and is low in price, but the tests themselves are independent of price.</p>

<p>Didn't read the whole thread, but in case it wasn't mentioned <a href="http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/">GWX</a> is all you need.</p>

<p>Is it a high-gamut monitor? If so, colors can be off in non-color managed viewing.</p>

<p>Backwards compatibility has taken a back seat to corporate greed. It could be done, but how will they get more money from you then?</p>

<p>Unless you need dual monitors why not go with a standard desktop tower Mac and save money by not getting the monitor? That way you get the most processing power and upgrade-ability without buying hardware you don't need since you already have a great monitor.</p>

<p>You know you can drive a 10 bit monitor with any card right? Do you think you'll see a difference? I would only do this if I regularly used my monitor for scientific measurements with a colorimiter, IMO that's the only thing that could see a difference.</p>

<p>It's a legacy product. If they don't want you to be able to use it so they can make money, you won't be able to. As far as other S/W that supports it as a generic colorimeter, you'll have to research that (Google?), but it must have a working driver and I doubt Datacolor will update that for Win10.</p>

<p>They get you coming and going, it's why I stay on one OS as long as possible.</p>
