Hi Martin,

Thank's for these interesting results.

Had you requested different "brightness" targets from dispcal from one
instrument to the other? I am surprised that the DTP94 reports 149.95 cd/m2
as opposed to 194.82 for the EyeOne.

As far as calibrated chromaticities, the difference is not too extreme.

Is it Argyll that requests "placing the black cap" on?

If you are doing emissive readings (monitor calibration and profile), I
don't see why the instrument would need to be calibrated for ambiant
readings. Unless there is an option that you checked, somewhere, for
checking ambiant readings at the time of calibration.
