Abstract
A mounting for a colorimeter enables it to make measurements of light emanating from a color monitor screen without affecting the colors produced by the screen or allowing the entry of ambient light which can affect measurements by the calorimeter. Pressure applied against a screen, especially of an LCD color monitor, can cause changes in the color of the light emanating from the screen. The mounting apparatus conforms to the screen, and seals the screen against ambient light entering into the calorimeter, while limiting the pressure against the screen. The apparatus is provided by a plate of compliant material, having an opening to which the calorimeter is attached. The surface of the plate, is disposed against the screen of the monitor. Since the pad is compliant, it seals the colorimeter from entry thereinto of ambient light. A strap can be expanded, and holds the pad on the monitor and against the screen. The strap is attached to the plate, and is placed around the back of the monitor.
