I just got a ColorMunki Display to replace my Eye One display 2 which I no longer trust.
With the Eye One Match software there was a monitor validation tool that showed how good the monitor/calibration is, and allows you to track it over time. There seems to be no such validation tool with the ColorMunki Display software. Is there an alternative to do this?

It is my device I don't trust, not the I12 in general. Mine (after several years) just wouldn't seem to give a reliable calibration. I could run it a few times and get quite different results.

I use the spyder 4 on an iMac - I have a second monitor attached (apple display) and the two never look the same after calibration. One or the other will be warmer in tone, each and every time.

Does the difference in the two monitors correlate with the order in which you calibrated them? Can your video card handle two different calibrations? It may be using the second calibration for both monitors.

The Ugra display analysis and certification tool looked promising, but it doesn't support the ColorMunki Display.
