Not necessarily. There are a lot of variables at play in monitor
calibration. Price, as you suspect, could give the impression that it's an
important determinant in quality but it is not necessarily the case. The
EyeOnePro is a versatile instrument and we get what we pay for, but actual
results vary, I found, depending on the calibration application and the
particular type / brand of monitor being used. As for what is best, when in
doubt, I always fall back on the practice of trusting my eye to a visual
reference, like the ColorChecker chart. Comparing a digital version of the
chart, in Photoshop, to a real, physical version under a controlled lighting
says a lot about the quality of the whole chain. If I find close agreement
between what I see on screen and the appearance of the real ColorChecker
chart under controlled lighting then it helps develop trust to the monitor.
