My matrices are Version string = 6.000 Version character = 0x4c = 'L' serial number = 825172 LCD/user cal[0] = 0.084293 LCD/user cal[1] = -0.001766 LCD/user cal[2] = 0.022930 LCD/user cal[3] = -0.000310 LCD/user cal[4] = 0.058202 LCD/user cal[5] = 0.001093 LCD/user cal[6] = -0.001765 LCD/user cal[7] = 0.002765 LCD/user cal[8] = 0.140559 LCD/user calibration time = 0x45d3f6f4 = Thu Feb 15 07:00:20 2007 user cal flag = 0xd CRT/factory cal[0] = 0.085171 CRT/factory cal[1] = -0.001949 CRT/factory cal[2] = 0.020907 CRT/factory cal[3] = -0.000824 CRT/factory cal[4] = 0.056916 CRT/factory cal[5] = 0.000868 CRT/factory cal[6] = -0.002336 CRT/factory cal[7] = 0.002253 CRT/factory cal[8] = 0.142963 CRT/factory flag = 0x45d31629 = Wed Feb 14 15:01:13 2007 Since the rationale for the matrices is the individual calibration of each instrument, I guess that comparing just the matrixes from just two instruments may not necessarily be too meaningful. I could also imagine that a particular relation of some sort between the LCD and the CRT matrix (for instance inv(CRT_matrix)*LCD_matrix ?) may be more invariant between different instruments than the calibration matrices themselves. To get a feeling for the typical dispersion between different instruments, it would be great if some other owners of an i1 Display could kindly post their matrices as well. Thanks, Gerhard
