Hello Andrew:
Thanks for the response. Regarding the software I'm using, it's the current
version of X-Rite's i1Profiler (v. 1.5.6). Do you have suggestions for
profiling software that might work better with the iMacs?
Which software? That's critical. The offering from X-rite isn't best in

I was aiming for the 100 cd/m2 based on suggestions at
http://www.imagescience.com.au/kb/questions/188/Calibrating Monitors Using an i1Display Pro
and
also because that seems to match the brightness we get using the viewing
setup we have (Solux bulbs in clip-on lamps, not a viewing booth). Do you
think it would be worthwhile to move the lights around to increase the
light level? I may do that and also up the luminance target I'm aiming for.

The two machines in question sit side-by-side, so conditions are pretty
close. I wondered about the possibility that someone has been messing about
with the controls and have posted notes asking that everything be left
as-is, but who knows whether the request is being heeded.

Thanks for the link to the Luminous Landscape article. I'll see what I can
do based on some of the suggestions.
