    Please tell me in detail what you do. Your computer sees the monitor right? When you open display prefs, it’s there?

    The computer recognizes the display.
    When I go into APS program I can highlight the Dreamcolor to calibrate it. The next step is the “HP LP280zx USB Connection”. It asks me to make sure the USB cable is connected. I hit “Next” and a dialog window pops up that says to verify that the USB cable is connected between the monitor and the computer and to try again. It basically just stays caught in this loop and I can’t move to the next stage which would be “HP LP2480zx Settings”.

    thanks,

    That is odd and I have never seen that. Try resetting the monitor back to factory calibration through the front panel
    Buttons.

    I’ve tried that in the past and just tried again without any luck.

    best,

    Sorry Nathan. I have never seen this problem. Maybe time to call HP.

    I am running 10.6.4 and have had no calibration problems.

    With the Xrite plugged in, open your system prefs. is the hardware recognized?

    Haven’t had a chance to try this yet. Just hooked up the Dreamcolor to my older intel Macbook pro running 10.4.11 and the calibration seems to be working fine. Must be some sort of conflict with new system?

    I’ll check out your new lead once I reattach the monitor.

    thanks for all the help,

    Nathan

    I’m thinking it must be some sort of software error.

    Let me know.

    If I have an LHI, do I need the HDP2 to use the dreamcolor with my system??

    This was covered in the article, but the HDP2 takes the guess work out of it. If you work in a exclusively progressive timeline all the time, then it will work. If you view 1080 psf, or SD at anytime, the LHi isn’t enough. I recommend the HDP2 as you will never really have to worry about it once it’s setup.
