The following “LUMINANCE values” can be seen in the “Expert Console”:
Black Luminance: 0.27
White Luminance: ; 88.0
So the program has exactly done what he told me during the calibration process: “Brightness target adjusted from 120.0 to 88.0”
I never saw a message like this in previous versions!

But your description does not explain which method is being used. Please set the target white to 120 (there is a popdown option for 120, Gamma 2.2, Whitepoint 6550k) or manually in the Expert Console, and calibrate again. If it asks if you would like to change the target value based on ambient light readings, say no. See if it will then calibrate to the selected value of 120.
