Uncompromising Color Accuracy for Professional Displays
In the world of professional video, post-production, and digital imaging, color accuracy is not a luxury—it's a necessity. The Colorimetry Research CR-250 is engineered for professionals who demand absolute confidence in their color workflow. This high-resolution spectroradiometer serves as the definitive source of truth, delivering reference-grade measurements for the most color-critical applications. Whether you're a DIT on set, a colorist in a finishing suite, or a quality control engineer, the CR-250 provides the precision required to ensure your creative vision is perfectly realized on any screen.
Built on a foundation of cutting-edge optical technology, the CR-250 features a 4nm spectral bandwidth and an impressive 1.6nm/pixel resolution. This allows it to capture a minutely detailed spectral fingerprint of any display, far surpassing the accuracy of traditional colorimeters. Its advanced design is completely display agnostic, making it a future-proof investment. Calibrate with confidence across all current and emerging technologies, from LCD and OLED to plasma, front-projection, and the next generation of micro-LED displays. Each unit is built for the rigors of professional use, with a robust body machined from aluminum and stainless steel. Despite its durability, it remains remarkably compact and lightweight at just 1.0 lb (0.45 kg), making it the ideal tool for both the calibration bay and field assignments. Every CR-250 ships with a NIST traceable calibration certificate, providing documented, verifiable proof of its world-class accuracy right out of the box.
The CR-250 is designed for seamless integration into your existing workflow. It includes CRI's straightforward application for quick measurements and manual calibrations. For the ultimate in calibration power, the CR-250 is fully compatible with industry-leading software like LightIllusion's LightSpace CMS and Portrait Displays' Calman, enabling advanced 3D LUT creation for professional monitors, including all Flanders Scientific models. For added flexibility, the CR-250-VO-201 variant includes specialized viewing optics for precise, non-contact measurements of projectors and large-format displays, while also providing a screw-on adapter for traditional contact measurements.

Returning an item
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can return your item(s) for a full refund within 14 days of confirmed delivery.
Special sales, demo items and promotions may have modified return policies. If an item from a bundle is returned for refund, the total bundle discount or the total value of the gifts will get deducted from the returned item prior to issuing a refund. If the bundle discount (or gift value) exceeds the value of the returned item, the difference must be paid to be able to return the item.
Return autorization
If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.
You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).
Incorrect items
If the return is made due to a faulty product, or an incorrectly shipped product, or if you are returning the item(s) due to a defect, or functionality issue, or because it is not the item you have ordered, we will gladly email or mail a return shipping label covering all shipping related expenses. In order to determine whether the return is initiated due to a technical problem, we may ask for you to provide visual support like images or a video on the item(s).
Shipping
Returned merchandise must be in its original packaging, and placed in a decent shipping box, e.g. the same box that we shipped the items to you in. Please make sure to clearly mark the RMA code you have received from us outside on the box.
Do not forget to cover or peel off any existing shipping labels on the box.
DIT Supplies OÜ cannot be held accountable for return shipments that have not reached us or returns made without RMA codes. We strongly advise that if you are returning the item(s) with a carrier of your choice that you use a traceable shipping method.
It may take 4-5 business days for your return to reach us.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
