Anyone have any experience calibrating an Eizo Monitor with ColorMunki Display? Seems there may be some compatibility issues between the two.
Any suggestions are appreciated...Thanks..
What are the symptoms? Are there error messages, etc. Mac or PC? We need more info.
One thing you might try is to download and install the latest drivers for your monitor, video card, and ColorMunki. Also, be sure to set your video card driver to default values.
You might also check out Chromix. They have lots of info there that might help you.

Preston,
Sorry about the lack of info...
I expect the Monitor to arrive today ... so no problems yet...
But I got some conflicting information about compatability issues with the ColorMunki on the Eizo web site.
I guess I should wait till I set it up and see if there are any problems...
I'm new to calibration, since I always relied on my lab (Millers) to do all the color correcting...
so I'll let you know if there are any problems...
Cool, Tom. I wish I could afford an Eizo; but alas!...
I still think it's a good idea to update the driver for your video card. Be sure to use the video card's manufacturer's driver. If the Eizo comes with a factory driver, install that, as well. The same goes for the ColorMunki driver--be sure you have the latest one.
Enjoy that new screen!

It seems to be working out....
but ColorMunki and Eizo do not seem to play well with one another...
as a matter of fact you have to download the old driver from Eizo to have it support CMonki...
But it seems to work ...
If anyone else has similar issues I would be happy to explain what I did...
Preston I got the Color Edge CG223W... a 22" monitor.... the most reasonably priced one from B&H...
I justified it as a needed upgrade for my Team Photo business....
If it gives me consistent stable files/images/prints I will be happy....
it has a srgb setting that seems to make a huge difference already...
I will be sending out some images soon to see whats/what..
