I use Spectrolino and PM 4.1, I guess that's not so bad.

Thanks for the information.
I guess I am colour-blind as many of my customers are as well probably.
Whatever the theory, I am only interested in solutions which are working and
if I can not make a visual white point match at 5000k, than what's the
point?
If I make decisions regarding which calibration and monitor profile to
choose, I always first calibrate at 6000k and profile accordingly and do the
same with 5500K and 6500K.
Than apply the calibration settings, apply the profile and hold a test sheet
both with images and a white test sheet both on screen and in the viewing
booth. At the same time I try to match the brightness as well.
With all respect to others who come to different decisions, till now my eyes
are again and again telling me: it's between 6000K and 6500K, at least
that's the closest I can come.

Udo
