David…….. I see I went sideways on your question. I just got so caught up on the profiling stuff.
Profile your iMac with whatever software and hardware you have available. I wrote you what I use. You may already have what is needed.
Like my MacBook Pro 17 inch non-glare display, you will never get the trusted density and color you have with your NEC!

>> I am a commercial photographer who has run out of time (and patience) waiting for the "new" MacPro to be announced. I have given up trying to wrestle my Nikon D800 files out of my outdated MacPro so I have ordered an iMac. Hopefully this will at least move me in a positive direction. Not perfect but better. My question to all of you is what is the best way to calibrate the display? I am currently using a SpectraView setup on my NEC which works well. But I sense the iMac is a different animal. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
