The HDfury² also includes many first time world exclusive features:
The HDfury2 solves all original HDfury issues, including: A few source devices have issues handshaking with DVI-D (hdcp)
devices such as the original HDfury, requiring the use of an HDMI switch between the source and the
original HDfury. Some sources like the Denon 4308 receiver could not
handshake with an incomplete CEA861 EDID extension block causing issues with the
original HDfury. The picture is shifted to the left on some displays when
using the original HDfury and it could not be centered within the display's adjustment range.
Use of external device such as RTC2200 or
Box 1020 was needed. Some sources do not output enough current on their digital
output pin#14. Use of external power supply was needed for the original HDfury (either Wall
Plug or USB). Some users reported their original HDfury ran "hot" after
many hours of use. The original HDfury is unable to run long analog cables on its output.
ex: Displays with VGA cords is problematic. Hard to identify when the power supply is required
for the original HDfury (some source devices do not provide enough current on pin14.
Chroma 5/CalMAN
bundle: $110 off until end of August!
August 9, 2008
To help our users step up to one of the best tristimulus colorimeters on the market today, SpectraCal is offering a limited time pricing through CurtPalme.com on the Chroma5/CalMAN bundle: $110 off their regular SpectraCal price! To quote Derek Smith of SpectraCal: "I've recently spent a lot of time with X-rite's Chroma 5 colorimeter, and I've come to have a whole new level of respect for it. It's hands down the best colorimeter there is. So I was talking to the good folks at CurtPalme.com recently about what a pity it was that people are still using "dime store" meters – meters I can see on my test bench are often off by ten percent or more in their readings – when the Chroma 5 is only a few dollars more. They explained to me that at the entry level, a few dollars matters a lot. To someone performing their first calibration and not sure whether the process will even work for them, the initial outlay is important. 
So I talked to my partners in SpectraCal, and we agreed that we'd like to drive the cost of the Chroma 5 down to the lowest level we can possibly stand, on a temporary basis, to help launch it among enthusiasts. "Once the word gets out how good it is," L.A. said, "the Chroma 5 should sell itself just from the comments on the forums." So to get the comments started, we've agreed to try seeding the market with some Chroma 5 packages we don't make any money at all on. (L.A. interrupts to remind me that SpectraCal's everyday price for the Chroma 5/CalMAN bundle – $499 – is about a third of what you'd buy it for anywhere else in the world.) We sharpened our pencils and worked out that the absolute lowest price we could get you a Chroma 5 and CalMAN is $389, and we calculated that we could only afford to do that for about two weeks before we have to get back to reality and start charging prices again with a little bit of margin in them for us. So if you've thought at all about trying out this home theater calibration stuff, and you've been wavering (maybe you haven't been able to justify the price to your significant other), I'd encourage you to take advantage of this one-time offer, good only for the rest of August, and only through CurtPalme.com. Drop me an email (spectracal@curtpalme.com) if you have any questions. I would love for you to have a chance to experience how good a meter the Chroma 5 is." - Derek Smith, SpectraCal LLC So there you have it! If you've been considering upgrading to the Chroma 5, now's the best time to do it. An an OEM of X-Rite, SpectraCal is uniquely positioned to offer the Chroma 5 at a price considerably lower than anywhere else to begin with. This the same meter that Sencore sells as the ColorPro V in their $4,000 package!
