Hello. We are planning to purchase the Calibrite Display Plus HL model. Is it possible to use this device without any problems with DisplayCAL software? Actually, we want to measure the SRGB, DCI-P3 color gamut support of the monitors.
Calibrite Display Plus HL on Amazon Calibrite Display SL on Amazon
Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.I’d recommend the plus instead, unless you actually need more than 2,000 nits. The new models (like HL) have bad low-light performance. You should be able to use either with DisplayCAL though. Whether you run into problems depends on your system
First of all, thank you for your answer. I didn’t quite understand your message about having problems. We want to use it to examine the monitor.
Also, unfortunately, stocks of Colorchecker series products are very difficult to find in my country. That’s why the seller sent us this model.
It’s still a good colorimeter and it sounds like it was your best option, given your circumstances. Some people have problems with DisplayCAL, most probably don’t. It’s still the best option. You’ll just have to try and see

Search AVS Forums… it’ si not an error, likkely a limitation. 2000nit models gives 0nit reading near black (near black > 0 nits) on OLEDs, untill certain threshold which is lower for vanilla/old i1d3 not certified over 1000nit
That black crush threshold is low enough even on 2000nit models to be far away from IPS or VA panel blacks.
Hi Vincent,
Could this be why, when I attempt to calibrate my 321URX QD-OLED with the Plus HL, it can’t seem to get accurate darker values? It elevates darker tones a tad too much, while keeping the black floor the same
No…or yes. It’s very common that some people misunderstand the rasing of gamma near black with poor low light capabilities.
If after calibrating measured gamma in those places reflect that raise… it is not device’s fault.Also in any <<color managed enviroment>> that dark grey raise has no effect as long as ICC profile stores that behavior (more likely to store it in 3curves than on single curve to my surprise some months ago). CMM engine will reencode source data to that brighter near black greys, as long as dithering and pipeline bitdepth allows it.
So priority will be to get neutral greys to target white rather than exact gamma values.A measurement report with lots of grey ramp patches will reveal these things. Remember to run with no simulation profile at all.
And of course no HDR mode because windows/mac SDR simulation on HDR data will simulate some gamma that may not be what you want.
