Author Victor K. McElheny notes that in Land's life, he underwent big successes and big disappointments. "It had many sides, including iconoclastic research on human color vision; high level defense assignments; large-scale philanthropy; a cameo appearance in the creation of Public Television; a vain struggle to put his polarizes in every car and movie theater in America; leadership of a company whose sales increases nearly a hundred times in twenty years." McElheny believes Land's lasting contribution may have been his spirit of invention that dominated the last several centuries. "He is an example of smart, effective work, work that gives 'the world something well worth having.'"
