Compared to the i1Profiler and, for what is worth, for my taste. I used the same 7200K for both test.

I suspect I can't set these advanced parameters under dispcalGUI: I'll have to test Argyll under command line again tomorrow. Thanks for the info, appreciated. Paolo The advanced parameters are available in dispcalGUI. You need to enable them under the Options menu. Then adjust Black output offset, Black point correction and Rate. Phil
