1) There is a choice of DVI-D or DisplayPort input on this monitor. If I understand correctly, the difference boils down to 8-bit vs 10-bit (per color) communication with the video card. Is this worth worrying about in practice, and/or is it now even possible to take advantage of the extra 2 bits?
Thanks to Apple (sorry), we don’t yet have a full high bit path (OS, Applications, Cards, Drivers, Displays) anyway. We have some cards, Apps like Photoshop and displays like Eizo and NEC all set to go, but the missing link is something Apple needs to address. Then yes, you’d want to use a DisplayPort.

Should I be concerned about the profile quality when using an older-vintage i1Pro with the SpectraView II software?
It will work fine although not as well measuring the darker colors as you’d get with a matted Colorimeter. Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/
