What's your definition of 'good'? I had a considerable amount of
nonuniformity in white balance & luminosity across the screen (up to
20%), so I had to swap out a # of times until I got a decent monitor.
As for profiling, my i1 Display 2 did a horrible job, possibly because
the correction matrix for that colorimeter applied to a vastly
different red primary. But once I used the ColorMunki with
dispcalGUI/argyll (do *not* use the ColorMunki software; it's a joke),
& used the 'adaptive' mode that increases exposure for dark patches, I
got a decent profile.
