Title: Profiling software for x-rite i1 display 2?
Post by: niklasalexandersson on October 05, 2017, 05:36:23 pm
I have a NEC-branded x-rite i1 diplay 2 which i have connected to my NEC Spectraview reference 241. Been usin spectraview profiler (last updated about a year ago by NEC)but lately all I'm getting is error messages when i try to calibrate my monitor, and I've tried downloading applications from the x-rite website (it's a mess!) and not found anything that works.
So my question is, does anyone know of a decent calibration program for my setup since spectraview profilier stopped working, and preferably free och cheap :) 

Best regards,
Niklas

What are the errors? You really want to use this product to drive that hardware.
Have you sent the errors to NEC support; they are usually very good!

If you cant get "spectraview profiler" to work then try "DisplayCAL" - its open source (so free - make a donation if you want) and works with the  i1 diplay 2

Care to explain what makes that hardware/software combo important?

All the best,

The software was designed from the ground up to control the hardware in the panel!
