To me a difference of 45 cd/m^2 between instruments is too big, Is there anything I could try to get more info on the instruments or the operation?
I agree it's large, but that just seems to be the way it is. The origin of the i1display and i1pro is different (different manufacturers), and this may be reflected in different calibration standards. Note also that the disagreement between the instruments may not even be consistent, since the measurement geometry may vary (ie. the instruments sensitivity to light coming from different directions), as well as the spectral sensitivity being not quite standard observer for the colorimeter. Here's what I get using an "A" type spectral source, with a fairly broad light distribution. Note there is some instrument positioning error and source variation error in the readings: Argyll GM driver Eye 1 pro rev. D 1214.07 1214.98 Eye 1 pro rev. A 1132.49 1134.57 Eye 1 display 2 LCD 976.10 972.50 Eye 1 display 2 CRT 915.85 912.15 So I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong about the Argyll driver. I'm not sure if (say) other software has a fudge factor that brings compensates for the instruments different calibration factors. While it's easy enough to concoct a fudge factor for a particular display and two particular instruments, it's not possible to know how representative such a factor is for other light sources and other instrument instances.
