What software do you use for testing monitors with the X-Rite i1Pro spectrophotometer

  • I was wondering what software you use for testing monitors? If I've understood it correctly you use the X-Rite i1Pro spectrophotometer, but the standard i1Match software does not feature the tests you perform in your reviews.

  • We have developed our own software because a simple profile validation offered by any calibration software wouldn't be sufficient.

  • That isn't what I suspected... I have the DataColor Spyder 3 Elite myself, with the upgrade to the version 4 software.


    The version 4 software features some testing functionality:
    - Display uniformity measurement
    - Delta E color deviation for white and 50% grey
    - Gray scale tracking measurement
    - Whitepoint measurement
    - Measurement of the x and y coordinates in CIE 1931 xyY color chramacity diagram for the red, green and blue extremities
    - Contrast measurement
    - Gamme curve measurement


    I'm thinking of buying an i1Pro, however I do not want to lose the testing functionality, but the i1Match does not feature that functionality. The DataColor software does not support the i1Pro as measurement device as far as I know. Do you know any commercially available software that features at least the same testing functionality and supports the i1Pro as measurement device?

  • The UDACT (UGRA test) performs quite extensive tests (including measurement of the UGRA/fogra media wedge under consideration of the display profile).



    It is also bundled with iColor Display (which I would also recommend as calibration/ profilation software in combination with the EOP) but can only be used directly after a calibration/ profilation here. The standalone version has of course no limitations.


    Apart from an ICC workflow there are products for TV/ Beamer calibration but they all have some pitfalls.
