I need to replace an outdated puck to calibrate my Eizo monitor after not having done it for some time. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for the puck to use? I will be using the Eizio software (ColorNavigator 6.4.24.2) and need the puck for the calibration. In the past I had used xRite, but I am open to other suggestions.

I use an I1Display Pro here with Colour Navigator 7 - rock solid 🙂

The i1 Display Pro is the obvious choice.

The Spyders are generally better than their somewhat bad reputation, but don't buy the cheap Express edition just for the sensor. I have a suspicion that they dump their off-spec sensors here.

In any case, the i1 is rock solid and always the safe choice.

Lynne, The i1 display pro is a good reasonably priced calibrator,

I prefer to use it with basICColor display 6 software as it carries out a very thorough assessment of the display characteristics. more here (free 14 day demo-version)

I hope this helps

Slightly unrelated sinceI have an Eizo and use the built in calibrator but what luminence or brightness level do you plan to use? (cd/m2)

Having recently watched Daniel Gregory's video on Color Management with David Cross's Photoshop Virtual Summit II, I was planning to use between 80-100 cd/m2. I know that my prints when last I was printing, were too dark so Gregory says this means that the monitor is too bright. When I had calibrated my monitor, the prints and the monitor were very much the same and I can see from my notes that I had used 80.
