Thanks Graeme! 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
