On loading the Pro Plus version, there are a few more options within the software, but all looks much the same for general calibration. To use the Pro Plus as with the Studio, you install the relevant i1Profiler software, connect the device, and run the Wizard. Build quality and handling seem identical. Otherwise, all three are identical in the way they look and work.Ĭhecking over the i1 Display Pro Plus and for all intense and purpose, the logo seems to be the only difference between the two models. The mid-range Pro is the only calibrator in the i1 Display family with only the i1 logo. The difference between the two models being the Plus logo printed on the side. The i1 Display Pro Plus is almost identical to the entry-level calibrator. Ultimately I was impressed with the ease of use and accuracy.

Whatever your choice, each of the three monitor calibrators offers you a solid solution.Ī few months back, I looked at the i1 Display Studio, X-Rite’s entry-level monitor calibrator designed for enthusiast and professional photographers. If you work professionally, then the i1 Display Pro is a good solution, and if you need the calibrator to measure up to 2000 nits, then the Pro Plus is the one for you. In effect, if you are looking for a solid monitor calibrator, then the i1 Display Studio is all you need. However, if you’re working with the latest HD and HDR monitors, which are brighter, then the Pro Plus is the solution for you. The other advantage for people using multiple displays is saving and reuse workflows this helps if you move your system around or have multiple monitors of the same type to calibrate.įollowing on from the ability to save and share profiles, the Pro versions also enable you to create custom profiles, giving you a little more flexibility.įor most people, the Pro version of the i1 Display will more than cover all calibration needs. These two models enable you to calibrate your monitor and check it’s health with profile quality analysis and display uniformity tests. Where the Pro and Pro Plus come into play is if you need that little bit more.

Plus, with the addition of reminders and automatic display control, all three i1 Display models offer a solid monitor calibration solution. The i1 Profiler software Wizard, across all three products, is very similar and will guide you through the calibration process with ease. Where the i1 Display Pro Plus excels is in the professional environment.

Much of what the i1 Display Pro Plus has to offer I covered in the i1 Display Studio review.
