Man of Honour
I decided to buy a Spyder Pro 5 and in conjunction with DS colour labs tech support, I have calibrated my monitor and installed their colour print profiles.
I have followed their guide here:

I sent them a few test pictures and they said they match their print profiles so all good.
However, As part of the calibration process, my screen brightness was turned down from 59 to 24 and the white point (colour temp) to about 6400. As a result, the screen looks much darker and the whites look very grey.
Also, if you look at their instructions carefully, you use the calibrated sRGB ICC colour profile and export using their print profiles.. So really, you still aren't working with colour scheme of their profiles.

Is this right? Doesn't seem to make sense.. Has anyone else gone through a similar exercise?
