For this test I used the Accupel 6000 test pattern generator and the 2018 LG OLED.

To evaluate low-light sensitivity I measured subsequently lower grayscale values starting at 8% with each meter stepping down one 8-bit code value at a time. Finally, I took note of how much time was required to measure the entire list of 95 grayscale values. To evaluate speed I imported a custom list of colors into ChromaPure's Raw data module, which were just the grayscale in 1% increments from 100% down to 5%. Finally I compared the x and y values of each set of measurements. Next, I repeated the measurements after correcting a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter with the Colorimetry Research CR-300 reference spectroradiometer. However, speed and low-light sensitivity are baked into the colorimeter's design and nothing can be done about either without reengineering the device.ДЇor color accuracy I simply measured 11-point grayscale and the primary and secondary colors with each meter. Of these color accuracy is the least important, because color errors can always be corrected by a better instrument. To be clear, the SpyderX performs substantially better than all previous Spyder instruments.Д¬olorimeter performance is defined by three criteria: color accuracy, low-light sensitivity, and speed. DataColor has now released the next generation of Spyder colorimeters, the SpyderX. Sure, DataColor offered the Spyder range of colorimeters at a substantially lower price, but their performance has not been competitive with the X-Rite alternative.

You may like it best to manually set the MacBook using the gamma targets in 'Expert Mode' - to get to expert mode, open system preferences -> Displays -> Color and hold down option when clicking 'calibrate'.For the last several years the X-Rite i1Display Pro has pretty much been the only game in town when it comes to affordable, serious display calibration.

Don't expect a MacBook monitor to match a BenQ !!.

My MacBook which I use mainly in dark rooms I have set to 80 cd/m 2, but my workstation monitors are set at 120 or 160, depending on the ambient lighting in those rooms.

Hard to suggest what luminance you should target not knowing you environment.

If you are doing web design, for instance, and some of the browsers you use for testing are not color managed (like Opera) then you need to be using the sRGB transfer curve. If some apps are not color managed, then sRGB is the more ideal choice. Which gamma curve? If you are using color managed apps, then I prefer the L* or CIECAM curves.

Depending on the software you are using, you'll have various different options.Make sure the monitor is on, and being used for at least 30 minutes before calibrating.If you can't make the room completely dark, then drap a black cloth over the monitor - but do not put pressure on the colorimeter, as pressure on the LCD will cause color distortion!. When profiling the monitor, you want no other monitors on, and no room light.Glossy Screen? I've had trouble with them using the older XRite display2, but the new i1 displayPRO seems to do a pretty good job, though still 'warmer' than if I calibrate manually using expert mode. The bundled XRite software though is fine for most applications. Different software equals different results. I don't like the Spyder, I recommend the XRite i1 DisplayPRO. Monitor Calibration is frustrating, isn't it? Here are tips from decades of dealing with this issue. Shouldn't the RGB of bright white align? It feels to me like the factory calibration is better than my Spyder calibration results in. Switching to the pre-calibrated Adobe RGB profile, that shipped with the monitor, yields the following: The two profiles I've calibrated with the Spyder will yield RGB histograms as follows: Should they not at least look in the same ballpark when calibrated with the same sensor, albeit different software?Дў) When I turn off all light in the room, set my DSLR to all manual, focus infinity, wb 5600ish (shot in raw so who cares though) and do center-screen shots of the same bright-white color вЂ“В one for each display profile вЂ“ the results puzzle me. The way I see it the problem is two-fold:ДЎ) I do realize that I'll be hard pressed to have the two displays look exactly the same, but the difference here is causing some serious eye strain. The Macbook is calibrated using Spyder's own software. The BenQ screen is calibrated using Palette Master Elements, and I've done so using any tutorial and informative texts I can find. Compared with the Macbook's screen, it's certainly much colder looking. I've calibrated both using a Spyder 5 Pro, and straight off the bat after calibrating the BenQ felt that it was leaning towards a green cast. I've got a Macbook Pro 15' (2017) with a BenQ SW271 connected via USB-C.
