Steven, Some may argue that a colorimeter will provide better calibration in the dark tones. This can be true in some circumstances where you have a pro level colorimeter. For a i1DisplayPro vs an i1Pro, it is a compromise between low noise and accuracy. For an i1Display Pro, for maximum accuracy, you need to select the calibration setting corresponding to the display lighting technology. For an i1Pro, I recommend letting the instrument stabilize by leaving it on the display while the display itself stabilizes (at least one hour). The reason for this stabilization is because the instrument noise increases when the instrument temperature increases. The noise is measured and cancelled when you do a calibration but if the temperature still increases while you do the measurements, this additional noise which will affects your measurements, with more effect on the lower brightness patches. So, I would say that these two instruments, when used properly, are "as good" when calibrating a monitor. However, if you calibrate with an instrument, check the calibration with the same instrument, as there are inter-instrument differences.

I have an older i1pro and was wondering for just profiling monitors will the result be as good as the i1Display Pro. Using i1Publish software
Thanks
