If this is simply for monitor calibration/profiling (not printer
profiling), and you have been using the same calibrator for 'many' years
to calibrate a number of monitors, I recommend you look at replacing your
calibrator to the new X-Rite calibrator with new software. Monitor
technology has advanced over the past few years, and you also have to
consider aging of the older types of monitor calibrator.
Currently X-Rite have a special deal offering a 'trade-in' discount on new
calibrators if you return your old device, which makes this an ideal time
to replace the instrument. This Trade In discount is listed at
www.colorconfidence.com who deliver across Europe.
So how to choose between the ColorMunki Display or the i1 Display Pro?
In comparison to the old limited feature i1 Display-LT and the full
feature i1 Display-2, the new standard level ColorMunki Display has a
comparable feature set to the old full featured i1 Display-2 plus a few
more features and newer filtering technology in the instrument. Whereas
the new i1 Display Pro offers quite a bit more for QA and operates at 5
times the speed.
If you are upgrading from an old LT model, I expect you will be satisfied
with the new ColorMunki Display, whereas if you currently have the i1
Display-2 model, I suggest that even if you are currently satisfied with
the feature set you have, that its worth considering the new i1 Display
Pro, for its future advantages to you and for its speed. Finally, if you
intend to use the instrument with 3rd party software, such as SpectraView
Profiler that is supplied with NEC monitors (or Eizo Color Navigator
software), then you should take note that it is only the instrument
supplied with the new i1 Display Pro model that will be compatible with
such 3rd party solutions.
