Is the SWII capable of doing a hardware calibration with colormunki as
well? Is a hardware calibration done on Windows with one set of drivers
also correct for Linux with another set of drivers? (I somehow would
expect a no here) I need Windows and Linux with equal share.

I have read that the eye1 display uses organic filters which do not have
a long life time. I would expect the same of the NEC version, right?
Furthermore, I read that spectrophotometers are not as good as
colorimeters when measuring monitors (you indicated something similar).
And I will need the device for just the monitor. And they are more
expensive.
One the other hand, I've only heard positive feedback about the DTP94.
So if I had a correction matrix, I would get the best results, even if
it was just software calibration?

You mean, e.g., set the monitor to AdobeRGB and use AdobeRGB as monitor
profile in the system? I have read that the NEC has good factory
settings, so why bother calibrating and profiling at all?
