I know the monitor has to be on for a while but how does leaving the sensor on the screen affect performance? Would it not warm up just sitting in the cradle? Does the light have to be on? This would suggest that you need to a few 'dead runs' before accepting the final result. A time-consuming exercise for sure.
The issue with the i1Pro is that it drifts as the unit itself is warmed by the panel you are calibrating. Leaving it on the screen for an extended period means that there less risk of temperature change during the calibration process. Isn’t that why the i1Pro2 looks/feels a lot different to the original? I’m pretty sure that thermal stability was a recognised problem with the i1Pro.
I've been told that the ColorMunki performs better at this task. What's your response?
Never tested one.
I have also been told that the Eizo monitors with the built-in sensor perform well in this respect, probably because they have been factory calibrated to the monitor. Have you any experience with them?
Got some Eizo users here who rate them, but I’ve not had a chance to run any tests. Don’t really understand why we’re still discussing the i1Pro anyhow? Standards have changed. It no longer has a place in the professional imaging toolbox... -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd
