Okay, I've got the Eye-One Display 2, and I'm not entirely sure I believe it more than visual calibration using Adobe Gamma or Monitor Calibration Wizard. If nothing else, it shows up viewing angle issues with my laptop screen, because if it's a little off, whites go blue-violet.
Is there a recommended white point? I went back and forth among the settings from 5000-6500K and 5500K looks the most believable to me (and is what I would expect, though the default it 6500K).
Update--
I looked at the Norman Koren monitor calibration page, which recommends 6500K, and now that looks better, since I've sorted out the viewing angle issue. But then it seems odd that the "Easy" setting in the Eye-One software sets it at 5000K (which looks too warm), while the default for the "Advanced" setting is 6500K.
