    I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the built in xrite color sensor provides anything that I can't get from my i1 Display2 professional monitor calibration unit I already use for my desktop. On the surface it would seem to me that my i1 Display2 does a more complete job at color calibration, but I don't know if there is anything built into the monitor that may have an advantage over my current color calibration unit.

    Very unlikely that the Built in Color Sensor would add anything. More likely the other way around. I too have an eye-one display 2, but I just ordered the w520 With the Color Sensor, only for convenience if travelling extensively, and for curiosity, really.

    Thanks arlcrane, I will be curious to see what the advantages and disadvantages of the built in calibrator are. Both the i1 display and Lenovo built in sensor are Xrite products, so maybe they will compliment each other in some way or at least not interfere with each other.
