Monitor calibration - Which one?

The NEC PA241 is a very good monitor, class B accordingly to FOGRAs test of certification. And the main advantage - it is compatible with NEC's SpectraView calibration software.
I recommend everyone owning a NEC SpectraView-compatible display to buy the SpectraView software, as it makes a very precise hardware calibration, adjusting the monitor's LUT tables, instead of the LUT tables of the video adapter, as other calibration programs do. All you need is the software and a compatible calibration device. I use i1 Display 2 - works very good with wide gammut displays.

Calibrating a display is not as easy as it seems. You have to know a lot for different panel types, color gammut, working color spaces etc. and to experiment and learn a lot before you can make a good calibraton.
In general, it is a good idea to use a qualified service than rent a calibration device a try to do wonders.

If you have different displays, it is almost impossible to achieve exactly the same color on all three.

MBPs are very though to calibrate. They have cheap TN panels with limited color gammut. I've calibrated a dozen of MBPs and I can tell the 17" ones are the best, but very far from a good display you can trust for color correcting photos.

My MBP is from 2006. The LCD is getting pretty dim. I'll tell you the truth. A full auto calibration is better than no calibration at all

Hahaha. That's the truth, absolutely
