Possibly. I find it maddening that hardware calibration depends on
some subjective steps. But I think it's because those settings are
very dependent on the user's particular environment, ambient light.
SpyderPro2 that you have is my current fav, the results I mention were
real. I would think the software would separate things out done there
even with a dark hardware setting, but since the device blocks out
ambient when reading, perhaps that setting is the key.
