How is the black mapped? I believe it's possible to get a black with whatever 
target chromaticities you want but you can't obtain that black with just any 
luminance level.

I may be wrong.

Subject: [argyllcms] Target Black problems with ColorMunki & NEC 3090

I'm using the ColorMunk Photo to try to calibrate a NEC LCD3090WQXi-BK LCD 
(http://snipurl.com/nec3090). After running

sudo ./dispcal -yl -P 0.5,0.5,2 -a 58.7 -B 100 -t 5000 -T 5000 -v -o TargetA

I do the following, and get the results below (I omit the menu screen, and just 
show results). The target black is way off (see results during calibration, and 
at check all step). When I adjust the offsets on my LCD, it seems to have 
little effect on the DE for adjusting the black point. My monitor also has more 
than just RGB offset controls; for the offset controls, it has red, yellow, 
green, cyan, blue, and magenta controls.

Because of the large DE, I did not proceed to calibration.

Any suggestions?

**Black level adjustment**
Adjust CRT brightness to get target level. Press space when done.

**White point adjustment**
Doing some initial measurements

Blue  = XYZ  24.66   9.07 130.81
White = XYZ 169.22 172.74 149.94

Adjust R,G & B gain to get target x,y. Press space when done.
