Initially I had a crash or two with the X-Rite software, but I got it to work.

My research suggested that although the Datacolor software was somewhat less buggy than the X-Rite software, but the Datacolor hardware was not as good as the X-Rite hardware. Note that Datacolor also makes and sells various Spyder products, which compete with the X-Rite products. For me the step-up features were not worth the extra cost, but YMMV.

X-Rite also makes the i1Display Pro, which is the more 'professional' counterpart to the ColorMunki Display, and currently costs $234. The replacement has been announced at $490, not sure of availability date. Maybe a good device / good deal if you need its extra capabilities. * ColorMunki Photo: a different system altogether, which lets you not only calibrate and profile monitors, but also generate ICC profiles for printer+ink+paper combinations was $460, but it appears to be getting semi-replaced, and is down to $391. * ColorMunki Display: what I have, the 'standard' version for doing monitors (and projectors), currently $169. Spending (currently) $98 on it seems to me a bit of 'swim, swim, and sink at the shore' compared to getting the ColorMunki Display. * ColorMunki Smile: basically a dumbed-down altnernative. Note that X-Rite makes three different ColorMunki products: Since then the relative economics have shifted a bit, but not enough to change what I'd choose. It seemed intimidating to absolute beginner at first, compared to bundled click-and-run hassle-free software, which I found absolutely useless for myself, but even with my first calibration try I immediately saw what was the difference between having your display at stock settings vs profiled and calibrated.Not that long ago I looked into hardware to calibrate and profile my monitors, and settled on the X-Rite ColorMunki Display. Regretting my purchase I went loking for an alternative to vendor software and luckily found Displa圜AL. I am sure that was just me, but it does say something about user–friendliness and/or instructions provided by the packaged app.

I started to use it ever since getting ColorMunki Display and found out about Displa圜AL, knowing nothing about colors and profiling (and I still consider myself an amateur), immediately upon purchase of this consumer grade device-simply because I just had to, as software bundled with my calibrator made monitor picture worse than previously (too much green color), no matter what I tried. Using Displa圜AL (ex dispcalGUI) already for several years, I have only praise to express. Create synthetic ICC (matrix) profiles with custom primaries, white-, and blackpoint, as well as tone response.Test chart editor: Create charts with any amount of color patches, easy copy-and-paste from CGATS, CSV files (only tab-delimited) and spreadsheet applications.Also supports custom CGATS files (e.g., FOGRA, GRACoL/IDEAlliance, SWOP) and using of reference profiles to obtain test values.

Profile verification and measurement report: check the quality of profiles and 3D LUTs via measurements.Support of colorimeter correction for different screens via correction matrices or calibration specral sample files (the latter only for specific colorimeters: i1 Display Pro, ColorMunki Display and Spyder 4/5).Displa圜AL is a graphical user interface developed by Florian Höch for the display calibration and profiling tools of Argyll CMS, an open source color management system developed by Graeme Gill.Ĭalibrate and characterize your display devices using one of the many supported hardware sensors, with support for multi-display setups and a variety of available settings like customizable whitepoint, luminance, tone response curve as well as the option to create matrix and look-up-table ICC profiles, with optional gamut mapping, as well as some proprietary 3D LUT formats.
