“An X-rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter was also used to verify the black point and contrast ratio since the i1 Pro 2 spectrophotometer is less reliable at the darker end.". Does this make any sense to anyone, here?
That doesn’t make sense to me. The two devices may not correlate but you can’t verify one with the other. That’s comparing a fairly new colorimeter to a pretty old spectro… Of course there’s also the software that manages the data from these devices… Let’s not get stuck in theory, let’s instead keep this real world. IMO, a far better question is “Which device delivers superior display calibration across a variety of devices?” My experience with i1Profiler with these two devices suggests that the spectro is the better device when calibrating a variety of displays. Neither device delivers a calibration with better shadow detail and constancy across a variety of display types is clearly better with the spectro.
