LED calibration

I'm getting back into digital photography after a few years out of it and I'm finding that my old Spyder Xpress isn't going to cut it with my newer LED monitor. I feel like I'm starting over somewhat. I see there are now some affordable LED calibrators like the X-Rite ColorMunki so I may get one of those.

My question is, do these tools calibrate an LED display's brightness in addition to color values? Mine is definitely brighter than the LCD's I have at work. When I post-process a photo at home and then look at it on my LCD at work it always looks too dark. So I wonder what good a calibrator will do if going between LED and LCD is always going to pose a brightness issue anyway.

Thanks.

I calibrate my home IPS LCD With Spyder 3, And mine does the same. Looks bad on the office monitor, but my prints always looks just like what I saw on my home monitor.

Curt, I'd get some prints done with a reliable print provider. If you have a Costco nearby they tend to be good, but make sure that wherever you go you have them turn off "automatic corrections".

As you've see, different displays will show different results, so to me a good quality print is the "acid test" for "serious" photography.

Curt, yes, the Munki guides you in controlling the brightness.
