Here is some software that I use with my Spyder 3 to determine how accurate
the profile actually is.
http://www.homecinema-fr.com/colorimetre-hcfr/hcfr-colormeter/
Still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of it. It does not build a
profile, but lets you use the monitor controls to calibrate it close to
ideal before you build the profile with the hardware. I think I remember
seeing that it will use the color munki, but I am not sure. I do not have
it installed on my laptop, and I will not be home until mid to late May
Here is a review and lots if information about the U2410. It is an
interesting article.
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2410.htm
The pink tint is not a matter of the profile, but rather a known problem
with some of the Dell U2410 monitors, and it is not even across the screen.
I would think a profile would take care of this, but if it is not even, then
maybe not, as the sensor can't correct what it does not see.

Thank You Aram,
I am working on using the info at the links. I think I am doing what is in
my power to control the lighting in the room and give the color-munki
display sensor a reasonable environment to be accurate. I'm going to go back
through my resources to see if I'm overlooking something about the way my
office lighting is arranged.
Do you have any more info about the Munki Display calibrator giving 'pink'
results?
Query: Can anyone advise how I can do a test as to whether the calibration
is accurate or not?
I don't have a print calibrator, nor do I print at home, and not much desire
to start doing either.
Thx.. RW
