If you've got both instruments and ArgyllCMS, you can have the best of both worlds. You use the spectrometer (i1 Pro) to build a "tuning" map for the colorimeter (i1 Display Pro), after which the colorimeter remains as fast as before and as superior for the shadows, but it "borrows" the color accuracy of the spectrometer.
Can do the same with SpectraView software too. Steps: 1. Connect the i1Display 2. Select the desired Target in SpectraView and calibrate the display. 3. Confirm that the calibrated white point is acceptable (judge 100% white only). 4. Disconnect the i1 Pro and connect the i1Display. 5. Open the SpectraView Preferences dialog. 6. Re-detect the color sensor. 7. Change the "Primary Colors Chromaticity Source" to "Factory Measurement" 8. Click OK. Next you will create a new Target with a custom white point that has been adjusted with the offset between the two devices: 1. In SpectraView, click the "Edit Target settings" icon. 2. Click the "Edit..." button in the "White Point" group. 3. Click the "Measure" button and measure the white patch on the screen using the i1Display. 4. The CIE xy values should be filled in automatically. 5. Click OK. 6. Click OK. 7. Enter a new name for the Target file. 8. Make sure the new Target is selected, and calibrate using the i1Display. The white point should match what you got with the iOne Pro, and the greyscale should be much better. Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/
