White balancing on CCFL vs LED, calibrating my CCFL using a colorimeter.

Hi all,
I am waiting for the HDR standard stabilization to buy a new monitor, possibly a 4K 120Hz+ monitor.

In the mean time I am using my good old Eizo S2433W with a DTP94 colorimeter.
The monitor is pretty color accurate since it beats the UDACT test without any problem.

I calibrated the monitor 8 months ago, I use the monitor every day so I don't seen a big variation 8 months after but than I decided to recalibrate it using the colorimeter.

The monitor was at 6100K instead of the desidered 6500K, luminance was at 135cd/m2 instead of the desidered 140cd/m2 and the color was so owful that now, after the calibration, it seems that I bought a new monitor.

I know that LED doesn't suffer from deviation as much as CCFL but hey guys, believe me, don't buy and high end monitor without a colorimeter.
It has really no sense since your monitor after some months is a different monitor.
