Xrite ColormMunki or Xrite i1Display Pro?

Greg DAlessandro

I'm trying to figure out which would be the better option between the Xrite ColormMunki Display and Xrite i1Display Pro. Does anyone know which is the better choice? Thank you.

I found this comparison:

Pro if you have multiple monitors, otherwise the Munki should be fine.

Spyder 5 express and pro support multiple monitors for less money though.

Isn't there open source calibration software that allows multiple monitors using any device?

I just bought a colormunki display. From my bit of research, the i1display pro is better if you can afford it-- it's like 5x faster and has sealed optics which help prevent it from degrading over the years, "drift". In either case you'll want to use argyll + dispcalGUI rather than the included software, it seems fairly unanimous that it does a better job. I think the colormunki display may do multiple monitors as well, but the use of argyll makes it a moot point anyway.

I was never able to make the Xrite i1Display Pro work on my cintiq

You ought to be able to get windows color management to load multiple profiles without using the supplied software- That should let you handle multiple monitors with any tool that can make you a profile.

Getting windows to load profiles on every login is not intuitive to set up. Someone wrote a guide:
