How far up you think you may want to go with this upgrade may be the best way to decide which colorimeter to get. You say you may be upgrading one or both of your monitors later this year.

#COLORMUNKI DISPLAY VS I1DISPLAY PRO FULL#

That said, these devices don't work with the full capabilities some of the more sophisticated / higher-end monitors, which do work with i1 Display Pro / i1 Display Pro Plus. I have its predecessor (possibly older twin) the ColorMunki Display, and I've been quite happy with it. The tougher question is the one you seem focused on, whether to save some money and get the more basic i1 Display Studio. IOW, I think you're on the right track there, maybe for more reasons than you knew. Between that, the wider functionality for potential future monitors, and the modest cost difference, today I have to think it makes much more sense to get the i1 Display Pro Plus compared to the older i1 Display Pro. I'm not having much luck finding info or recommendations on their comparisonĮasy issue first: somebody I consider a high-level expert-I can't recall who (maybe Iliah Borg?), or where (probably the LuLa forum?)-reported that the i1 Display Pro Plus had notably better accuracy in some regard-again, I can't recall the specifics-compared to the older i1 Display Pro. In Aus, the Studio is $250 with the Pro being about $380 (the pro Plus is only a little more than that, so I'm sort of thinking that if I get the Pro, I may as well just get the Pro Plus as there's a fair chance my next monitor would be HDR) My workspace is not optimal in terms of ambient lighting as window light does strike the monitor at various times during the day, or otherwise the room lighting can vary a fair bit (so I'm wondering if this 'continuous ambient' monitoring is actually useful. New to colour management so I know basically nothing about it, and I probably will never get into some of the real nitty gritty. I have 2 monitors, one very old IPS, one newer monitor, I may be upgrading one or both later this year (undecided). Looking online suggests the i1 Display is better than the spyder.I had an old i1 display 2, really didn't like it but happy to give them a shot. So, I've decided to bite the bullet and buy a monitor calibrator, being unhappy with 'visual' calibrations.
