Klaus, so you believe that the "abbreviated calibration" is not just a limitation of NCE, but that even access to the hardware LUT is not yet implemented in the firmware? [I think there are no doubts whether there exists hardware LUTs in an XL20?] But then I'm wondering, how NCE can load the TRC of emulated profiles into the monotor (if emulation mode is used, where the XL20 gets adjusted so that it emuluates the behavior of a given profile). But I must admit that I haven't yet tested this mode thoroughly either. Btw, the ability to calibrate the XL20 coarsely with NCE before doing a dispcal calibration (-> graphics card LUTs) has at least the advantage that the graphics card LUTs only need to do minor adjustments and do not steal too many RGB levels.
