Need help calibrating an old Cintiq 21ux

[Dai Pinchi]

Hello, I am having trouble to get my Cintiq 21ux calibrated. I have a Spyder 4 express and using DisplayCal I can get the colors much more accurate than with the Datacolor software but the problem is that my screen is still too dark and warm.

I set the mode of calibration to LCD CCFL as that is what the Cintiq has and added black level drift compensation as was recommended for the Spyder but other than that I don’t know what to tweak. I perhaps should add that the too warm and dark thing is something the screen has suffered from persistently for a long time, though before using DisplayCal it was even redder.

I hope someone can help me as right now I cannot finish my current assignment which requires good color and values. And whatever looks good on the cintiq looks pale and washed out on other screens. 🙁
