How we checked
X-Rite's own i1Basic Pro 3 page confirms the holographic-diffraction-grating spectral engine, 4.5mm aperture, ISO 13655:2017 compliance (M0/M1/M2 conditions), XRGA standard support, and bundled i1Profiler plus PANTONE Color Manager software. The manufacturer page does not display price; $1,955 is RPimaging's authorized-dealer figure. The commonly-cited '5,000 nit' brightness spec belongs specifically to the higher-priced 'i1Basic Pro 3 Plus' variant per X-Rite's own separate Plus product page, so max luminance cdm2 is left blank here rather than misattributing the Plus-tier figure to the base model.
