i1Display

i1Display is a line of monitor calibration devices developed by X-Rite. These colorimeters are used to measure a display’s output and to generate an ICC profile that characterizes how a monitor reproduces colors, enabling consistent color across applications and devices.

The line has included several models, notably i1Display Pro and i1Display Studio, which offer different sensor performance levels and features. They are designed to work with X-Rite's i1Profiler software to guide users through the calibration process.

Typical workflow involves connecting the colorimeter to a computer, launching the calibration software, positioning the sensor on the screen, and selecting targets for white point, gamma, luminance, and color space. The software then measures the display and creates an ICC profile that can be used by color-managed applications.

Some i1Display models include ambient light sensing to adjust brightness in real-time based on room lighting. Calibrations are generally performed in controlled lighting conditions and should be repeated when display hardware or lighting changes.

Availability and use: The i1Display family is compatible with Windows and macOS and uses USB connections. Profiles produced by i1Profiler can be exported for use across devices and workflows, making the line popular among photographers, designers, and print professionals.

Overview: i1Display represents X-Rite's approach to monitor calibration, emphasizing accurate color reproduction through standardized targets and ICC profiling within a broader color management ecosystem.
