Hello,

We have several workstations with Dell U2410 LCD's. I've calibrated them in the 
past with Argyll & dispcalGUI with very good results (deltaE 1-3). Since we 
upgraded to 10.8.4 I've been unable to get anywhere near the accuracy.
Typical results Average ΔE*00 of 3.7 to 4.4, and max at 10.8 to 11.2. I've seen 
the sRGB coverage at >99% (where it should be) but more often at ~66%. I got 
similar values from 3 monitors on 3 machines, and even X-Rite's i1Profiler 
seems to generate the same level of (in)accuracy. I've given the monitors 
plenty of time to warm up and stabilize.


- i1DisplayPro on Dell U2410 LCD
- OS X 10.8.4
- Argyll 1.5.1,  dispcalGUI 1.2.7.0
- sRGB preset on the monitor (not the custom mode)
- Rec. 709 tone curve w/ ambient light measurement (approx. 30 lux).

Command line:
  dispcal -v2 -d1 -c1 -yn "-P0.450879765396,0.472049689441,1.49865229111"
    -X WGCCFLFamily_07Feb11.ccss
    -Ibw -qh
    -t6500 -b100.0 -g709 -f1.0 -a31.0 -k0 -A4.0
    U2410 2013-08-03 100cdm2 D6500 Rec. 709 HQ 3xCurve+MTX.icc


Any ideas?

Thanks,
Drew Lahat
