i1Pro and monitors

I was up on some popular UK web site dealing with monitors galore (tftcentral) and I stumbled on this comment, which made me pause : "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? I'm into metrology over my ears, these days. So I'm especially sensitive to comments like that. / Roger
