Did anybody notice any anomalies with the i1 Display Pro?

I created a ccss with a ColorMunki, calibrated the display (only a
cheap WLED TN was on hand right now), created a simple gamma+matrix
profile with an i1d3 and validated that with the ColorMunki.
They agreed about the peak errors on color (a dark blue and a dark red
patch with dE~3.5) but there seems to be a little drift in the white
point. And not only in the CCT but also in the luminance:

Profile whitepoint XYZ (normalized):    95.53 100.56 110.08 (95 100
109.47), CCT = 6545K
Measured luminance:     90.4 cd/m²
Measured whitepoint XYZ (normalized):   85.81 90.4 94.21 (94.92 100
104.21), CCT = 6228K

I get a somewhat similar discrepancy when measuring my LCD2690WUXi wide-gamut ccfl tft and using ccss files (reference instrument is an i1 Pro).

Just checking the current display response with dispcal:



i1 Pro readings:

dispcal -v -yl test
...
5) Check all
...
White = XYZ 124.28 126.46 116.51
Current white = x 0.3384, y 0.3443, VDT 5392K DE 2K  5.7

dispcal -v -yl -H test
...
5) Check all
...
White = XYZ 126.42 128.16 117.43
Current white = x 0.3398, y 0.3445, VDT 5349K DE 2K  6.3



i1 Display Pro readings (no CCSS):

dispcal -v -yl test
...
5) Check all
...
White = XYZ 123.12 129.45 126.70
Current white = x 0.3249, y 0.3418, VDT 5816K DE 2K  0.8



i1 Display Pro (with default wide-gamut CCSS):

dispcal -v -yl -X WGCCFLFamily_07Feb11.ccss test
...
5) Check all
...
White = XYZ 132.41 130.99 127.61
Current white = x 0.3386, y 0.3350, VDT 5565K DE 2K 10.8



i1 Display Pro (with custom CCSS specifically for that screen, created with the i1 Pro, no high res spectrum mode):

dispcal -v -yl -X LCD2690WUXi.ccss test
...
5) Check all
...
White = XYZ 130.75 131.12 127.30
Current white = x 0.3360, y 0.3369, VDT 5606K DE 2K  8.8



i1 Display Pro (with custom CCSS specifically for that screen, created with the i1 Pro, high res spectrum mode):

dispcal -v -yl -X LCD2690WUXi_hires.ccss test
...
5) Check all
...
White = XYZ 131.30 131.59 128.40
Current white = x 0.3356, y 0.3363, VDT 5632K DE 2K  8.9



i1 Display Pro (no CCSS, but with custom CCMX specifically for that screen, created with the i1 Pro, no high res spectrum mode):

dispcal -v -yl -X i1D3_LCD2690WUXi.ccmx test
...
5) Check all
...
White = XYZ 125.21 127.22 117.62
Current white = x 0.3384, y 0.3438, VDT 5403K DE 2K  6.0



I understand a ccss file won't forcefully align the two meters but now
I should ask myself which one is more accurate. Should I create matrix
corrections instead or accept the i1d3 results?

Good question. In my case a CCMX brings the i1d3 readings pretty close to those of the i1 Pro (see above).

Can this mean my ColorMunki got worn out?

Unless there's some other problem with it, I would assume it's unlikely? But that's just my gut feeling.
