Thanks that works!

I did some some further testing and comparison, and noticed that with
ArgyllCMS I still get less shadow details than the profile created using
X-rite's OEM software(ICC v2). Using photoshop's curve tool, the
lowest discernible shadow details using x-rite profile is 2. With ArgyllCMS
profile it's 4. I don't see any noticeable color casts in the shadows by
either profile.
I also get less gamut volume with the ArgyllCMS: 1,114,180 vs 1,087.920

Below is the DispcalGUI screenshot for the settings I used, please let me
know if there're anything I haven't optimized. Because I would really love
to use ArgyllCMS for my main calibration tool for its powerful features and
flexibilty. But for now the x-rite OEM software seems to give superior
result yet taking a fraction of the time.

I also ran "Very Profile", I'm not entirely sure but it also seems to agree
that the x-rite profile is oeverall slightly more accurate?

Any help and inputs are greatly appreciated!
