I have checked my i1D3 (ColorMunki Display) on another display and versus 
another colorimeter. The display is a Dell 2209WA (standard gamut CCFL) 
calibrated in May 2012 with Spyder2, D65 white point, sRGB gamma, 120 cd/m2.
 
Today I measured the display response with both Spyder2 and i1D3. Similar to my 
previous comparison:
* The i1D3 is reading a lower white level, -11 cd/m2.
* The i1D3 is reading a higher colour temperature, +300 K.

And yes, the Spyder2 reports an elevated black level (which is why I bought a 
new colorimeter).
 
It seems the i1D3 is the odd one out. Maybe I should contact X-Rite?

Here are the measurements:
 
Spyder 2
--------

Current calibration response:
Black level = 0.42 cd/m^2
White level = 117.49 cd/m^2
Aprox. gamma = 2.03
Contrast ratio = 277:1
White chromaticity coordinates 0.3098, 0.3329
White    Correlated Color Temperature = 6627K, DE 2K to locus =  8.6
White Correlated Daylight Temperature = 6624K, DE 2K to locus =  4.9
