The i1 Display Pro, on the other hand, has new software available, as of July of this year. The Colormunki Display software hasn’t been updated in two years, which leads me to believe that support for it isn’t a priority for X-Rite. You had mentioned the X-Rite instruments before, so I checked into them. ![]() The i1D3 line of instruments (which the ColorMunki Display is part of) are arguably the best colorimeters in the sub-5000 € price range, and DataColor to this day hasn’t succeeded in developing a matching product (to do that, they would need to gather more light into the sensor by adding a lens and use better filters) in the two attempts they made so far (Spyder4 and 5). The only thing that concerns me is that it has been around for a while. Yes, it is faster, and the sensor is also more precise, but if you really want speed you can have a look at the i1 Display Pro (the ColorMunki Display is virtually the same instrument, but has a minimum measurement time of one second per read – the overall difference to the i1 Display Pro isn’t huge though as both instruments take longer for reading darker patches). I think it is a lot faster than the Spyder 5, also? I may just try both, and keep the one that works best for me. They just want to blame my monitor, or tell me that I don’t know what a calibrated monitor should look like! I already have a new Spyder 5, but the included software does not identify my monitor correctly as a WLED monitor, and there is no way to correct that problem. The software that comes with it hasn’t been updated in two years. I’m wondering if it is older technology, and/or is in danger of being discontinued and replaced soon. It’s mentioned in video reviews as being a option in the software. I would vote for X-Rite colormunki display, regarding the WLED mode it is in the correction options, when you import it from the software if I’m not mistakenĪfter some research, it does appear that the Colormunki Display has a WLED mode. Would you recommend the X-Rite Colormunki Display colorimeter over the Datacolor Spyder 5? Would it have the WLED mode necessary to properly calibrate my WLED backlit monitor?
