I agree with nightanole. Get the i1Display, but I believe the i1Display Pro is best for those monitors with good blacks.

In most cases, these should be OK, but again, beyond 5 years, even with the glass sensors, depending on storage , etc, not reliable.

Forget about red shift, This sensor's main problem is even at maximum acquisition time, it can not capture enough photons to read deeply into BLACK. That is critical for accurate contrast.
