It’s a recent model with Windows XP, equipped with an NVIDIA graphic chip. There is a DVI connection to which we relayed our screens first in DVI and then in VGA via an adaptor. However, this last configuration has little interest and you might as well use an entirely digital chain without a needless conversion that could degrade the signal.
Before pasting the profiles we verified color rendering on the screens with the four interfaces (2232BW DVI/VGA, VP930 VI/V A). It was identical to that measured on the test PC: a little too much blue on the 2232BW in DVI, in VGA it’s better, a VP930 with colors that generally are too reddish.
It’s perfect in both cases. Visually just as the sensor indicates, the improvement is obvious. Note that you will have to wait for about an hour for the monitor colors to stabilize (we could even say "warm up").

- average dE > 3: visible differences which can sometimes be problematic
- average dE < 3: good color fidelity and can be considered satisfactory.
- average dE < 2: excellent and good for touching up photos.
- average dE < 1: we can safely say that the human eye won’t detect the slight differences
It’s perfect in both cases. Visually just as the sensor indicates, the improvement is obvious. Note that you will have to wait for about an hour for the monitor colors to stabilize (we could even say "warm up").
