Colour results from a Sony PVM-2541 TriMaster OLED monitor

Having spent a bit more time with the Klein K10-A probe I profiled the Sony monitor we hired to practice on.

Here you can see the colour gamut for the displayed compared to the Rec709 colour space for television.

It is an excellent match with the green extremity being a tiny bit mis-matched. I would not expect to see this from either a CRT or LCD monitor.
The white curved line is the "black body locus" and is where physicists define the colour of white.

You can see that the colour of white through grey tracks very well until you get to within 15% of black; you can generally accurately read the luminance level down to sub 1Cd/m2 but colour measurements become too noisy down there. The K10-A seems to perform better than our DK PM5639 in this respect.
