Just got a new H/P e9260f computer (Windows-7) with a H\P 2159m monitor(it has a glossy screen) and am trying to do a calibration with the i1-Display -2 calibrator. I'm not getting a good image using the easy calibration , and the advanced mode doesn't seem to work with this monitor.

I've downloaded the latest software: i1 Match-version 3.6.2, and the software Diagnostics version 2.5.1. The diagnostics programs hangs or locks up some of the time, but, does give me a "pass" on the test. I've installed and deleted the software and re-installed. Same problem; any advise?? I appreciate your help. - jonpaul

In what way doesn't the Advanced mode work? I strongly suggest using the Advanced mode. It's the only way to calibrate the monitor to a known set of parameters. I would suggest using Advanced mode, setting the Luminance to 120, Gamma to 2.2, and White Point to 6500. If the monitor looks brighter than the prints, try reducing the luminance to a lower value (try 100).
 
Is your O/S 64-bit? I had trouble with my i1 with Vista x64 until I changed the shortcut so that the program runs "as administrator" in XP compatibility mode. Before that, the calibration process would randomly fail about 50% of the time. Works fine now.

HTH,

Thaks for the reply,

Advanced mode does not work in concert with my monitor's contrast, brightness, or color controls. I can set the target in advance to: 6500K, Gamma 2.2, Luminance 120; Results: 6500K, Gamma 2.3, Luminance 153.

In Easy mode the results I get: 6100K, gamma 2.2, luminance 168.

Colors are close; monitor much to bright.

Ewan, Thanks for the reply.

My OS is Windows-7 home premium, 64-bit; I'm not sure I have XP compatibility mode. But if I do, how do I as you advised? (I'm slow at learing Windows-7). --jonpaul

Try this. In advanced mode, where it tells you to adjust the brightness control to get the luminance to the desired value (120 in this case), adjust the contrast control instead. This will give you much more range to lower the luminance. I would suggest that you don't leave the Brightness control at 0 (or whatever your minimum value is). Try setting it approximately 10, and adjust the Contrast for the desired luminance.
