Hello Juergen,
Thanks for your answer.
About, the matching white point, as I said the monitor was in "factory
setting" during my test.
When I set a white point near 6500K curves look like that:

http://emmanuel.michonneau.free.fr/pub/Curves_spyder_6500.png
=> This accentuate the difference between colormunki and spyder2. Why
response curves of colormunki does not start to zero?
I think the reality is somewhere between the two instrument mesurements.
Spyder2 profil tends to over dark image and loose details in the shadow.
But colormunki profil makes the shadows unreal...
To illustrate my problem here are 3 screenshot of the same photo with
respectively :

- Spyder profil : http://emmanuel.michonneau.free.fr/pub/spyder_argyll.jpg
- Munki profil :

Note the difference particulary on the steps downside of the picture.
Since the steps are backlight illuminated by the street light they normaly
have to be very dark.
On the color munki profiled image, they seems to be over exposed and strange
artefacts appears.
Of course this picture has not been postprocessed. It is just a raw
converted to jpg.
Does the problem comes from my display and its TN panel?
Normaly it show be good enough to be calibrated with precision as said in
the reviews :
