But I'm not sure at this point whether or not I should be using the ambient light measurement at all. When I calibrated/profiled this same monitor last year---I thought successfully---with version 0.8, there was no ambient light option.
That's really up to you. It won't make much difference to the profiling, but it may make a difference to applications that are not color managed (video replay ?), where the visual result should probably take account of the viewing conditions.
On another point, whatever I do, I always get a message like Failed to meet target 0.600000 delta E, got worst case 0.607690 with different worst cases. Does this mean anything?
It means that it's (just) failing to pull the response curve to the target.
As I said, it does if I don't use the ambient light option. According to the `Amazing Gamma Applet', gamma seems to be between 2.1 and 2.4.
Since it probably measures gamma differently, I wouldn't expect great agreement. Graeme Gill.
