Last Weekend I hat the opportunity to spend some time with
a Samsung SyncMaster XL20 monitor. The Samsung has a LED backlight
which mades it a little bit special. Samsung claims that the gamut of
this display will cover AdobeRGB completely. My first test with the
Spyder2Pro (V2.3.2) were quite positive, but the profile (Native Whitepoint,
Gamma 2.2) looks a little bit off concerning the gamut. I found the same
in a review at X-Bit Labs:

After I had this discovered I profiled the device again - same result. My next
attempt was with the included Eye-One Display2 and Eye-One Match V3.6.1 Software.
In this profile the gamut of the display quite nicely covers AdobeRGB. Is it
possible that the differences in gamut between these profiles indicates that
the Spyder2Pro device/software combo has some problems with LED backlight displays?
All the other LCDs I profiled with the Colorvision hardware/software never showed
such a behavior.
