i1Profiler 1.4.2 and Brightness

[tony22]

I just upgraded i1Profiler to 1.4.2 and tried to create a new display profile. Something in this version must have changed, as I can no longer get a reading of 100 cd/m^3 off my display. My Contrast and overall RGB levels are the same as the last time I calibrated (with version 1.2.0 - yes I haven't upgraded in a while!), and with that previous version i1Profiler read 100 cd/m^3 right on the mark. Not sure what's going on.

I also don't like the new feedback display for the RGB sliders. Makes it very hard to zero in on the right settings.

So why don't you use v 1.2.0 for monitors and v1.4.2 for anything else, I haven't noticed any noticeable profile quality improvement over this upgrade it seems it was only on the interface of UI.

Yes ... it will be interesting if OP can get monitor reading of 100 with previous 1.2.0

With PMP5, I've noticed that the default install directory for Win-7 changed from 5.0.6 to 5.0.8 to 5.0.10 as I experiemented with different versions. I don't know if i1Profiler will be similar, so you can have both 1.2.0 and 1.4.2 installed at the same time, or if the install over-writes the previous installation.  It's probably possible to avoid an over-write.
