Let me clarify why I want to use the optix,
I use the new trending tool in the Eye-One software when I work on my
computer with an Eye-One pro, and I do like it. But I am trying to make
guidelines/standards for average users to calibrate their own monitors.
(Which is of course difficult with various monitors and operating systems in
house - I am trying to find the most generic, easy to use solution.) I am
completely removed from the day to day equation, but basically responsible
for all monitors in the agency being as consistent as possible.
I would initially calibrate the monitor and train the user. From that point
forward, the user would check out the colorimeter from me, calibrate their
monitors and return it. I'm thinking the monaco because I can set their
controls once, then they can just do the profile sans calibration (every few
months I will recalibrate). Finally, they will run the validation and send
me the file (which I don't believe you can do from eye-one match). I can
then glance at the data and if I see really odd readings, I'll visit that
user.
I think I have more control with the monaco - while making it easier on the
user. But that little red issue on cinema displays is bothering. Actually,
the eye one using monaco profiler is slightly better but still magenta in
comparison to anything that comes from the eye one match software. Once
again the magenta cast is somewhat minor - so I may move forward. But I'm
pretty sure some art director will at some point complain.
When I compare a photoshop gray ramp on the monaco profiled cinema display,
to the same file on my second monitor (Eizo, calbrate with Eizo's
ColorNavigator and the same colorimeter). Profiles made with EyeOne Match
software seem a bit more accurate and consistent. Which leads me back to the
question - am I doing something wrong in the optix software? I'm have tried
the easy and advanced settings. They are both very similar, so I'm choosing
the advanced so I can change the luminance to 120 cd. This issue just seems
like more of a software thing than hardware, since all magenta roads lead to
the Monaco software.
If I can get this all to work, then I can hand over the i1 display to my
retouchers so they can always have it at hand for their eizos.

Hi Ginny
I've usually found Optix to be fairly good, but have known plenty of Cinema
Displays with magenta casts near the edge and left of the screen.
If you were happy with the EyeOne then get EyeOne Match 3.6 (it's free). The
new monitor validator utility is pretty similar to Optix Pro's trending
function.
