Xrite i1pro VS i1Display Pro for monitor calibration
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 _________________________ Steven Kornreich steve@kuau.com http://www.kuau.com
i1pro for the monitor. It could be that we have a bad unit but our i1Display Pro is inconsistent. -- Dan Bergstrom | Color Technology and Quality | PRIMARY COLOR ORANGE COUNTY http://www.primarycolor.com | T 949 660 7080 C 949 616 4986 On 7/19/16, 11:51 AM, "Steven Kornreich" <steve@kuau.com> wrote:

Although this differences might be considered small, I’ve found I get better consistency when I use the i1Pro2 over the i1DPro across a variety of different displays. Scott Martin www.on-sight.com

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've no clue how X-Rite's software handles the two. But, with ArgyllCMS, the ideal answer is an initial cross-calibration using a spectrometer and a colorimeter, and subsequent profiling with just the colorimeter. And the i1 Display Pro is probably the best colorimeter readily available -- it's got a giant aperture, which lets it perform superbly in the shadows and be amazingly fast at midtones and highlights. You don't necessarily need the spectrometer, and pretty much any supported spectrometer will do if you've got one temporarily available. I just described the ideal solution; there're others, some almost as good. I will note that, while choice of spectrometer is basically irrelevant for this particular task...the i1 Pro 2 is a superlative spectrometer for all the other things people typically use them for. It's a really great piece of kit. ...when coupled with ArgyllCMS.... Cheers, b&
