The result is a claimed increase in calibration accuracy, especially in the lightest and darkest image regions, and a sub-2-minute calibration time, making this the fastest Spyder calibrator ever. It uses a brand new lens-based sensor system rather than the old honeycomb baffle on the Spyder5.
SpyderX is the successor to Datacolor’s popular Spyder5 monitor calibrator series. Interface could be more friendly -No budget Spyder X 'Express' version The most accurate way to do this is with a monitor calibrator.īy using a monitor calibration tool – a colorimeter is the technical name – on your screen and firing a selection of colors at it, any discrepancies can be detected and your computer then programmed to compensate for the color inaccuracy of your monitor. To ensure that your computer screen is displaying colors accurately, it pays to regularly calibrate its brightness, contrast and color. It doesn’t matter which color space you select on your camera or how you adjust Photoshop’s settings – if the screen has a warm cast or a cool blue cast and isn’t showing you an accurate picture, then any edits you make may be subtly or substantially out. If you edit images on a monitor that hasn’t been calibrated, you may end up sharing pictures that are unintentionally oversaturated, too muted or have an obvious color cast.

The run time with the OEM software was somewhere around 5 minutes versus 60+ minutes for the Displa圜AL as I had it configured.Most computer screens give a vibrant, dynamic picture, but this isn’t always the best for editing your photos.

To do this took some trial and error and time. In particular, with the OEM software I was still seeing banding in the gray scale but with Displa圜AL I obtained a very smooth gradation of the grayscale. I prefer it over the OEM software that came with the unit. I'll vouch for use of this software with my i1 Display Pro colorimeter.
Honestly if you’re not sure if you need this then you don’t. to the genius saying buy it and return it: you’re supposed to re-calibrate every 3 or 6 months l. I use these at work and it makes a noticeable difference.
Plenty of guides on setting display cal as it’s more advanced but honestly following a guide it was easy. Spyder paywalls certain features behind buying their higher end units, it’s generally not a sensor limitation it’s a software limitation. If anyone actually buys this skip the spyder software and use this freeware:

But again, you gotta leverage having the device and doing it yourself every once in a while VS paying the price of the device for a single professional calibration (which over time loses accuracy due to screen wear).

And, that's the only way to calibrate HDR mode too, even if you got the TV connected to a PC. Way above those things that a simple remote control can access. The thing about the pros who calibrate your TV is that they have proprietary software and hardware that can interface with the TV firmware and apply setting to the device directly.

Though, you know, the craziness gotta end somewhere - I thing for me just a default colorimeter should do, my wife already making fun of me for this (I am just a movie watching enthusiast). Smth about calibrating your colorimeter with the spectrophotometer first and then doing the screen with the former. I am not yet fully sure how it works, but what I already found online is that a spectrophotometer compliments a colorimeter, rather than replace it. It was originally published in France I think so there was a bit of a language barrier for me. I'm not sure where this product is at now, particularly if it has been kept current so it will work with the latest generation of colorimeters. Several years ago there was "free" software being promoted in home cinema forums for use with a colorimeter - HCFR. Xrite has recently released the i1Pro 3 spectrophotometer which may address that issue. I'm not sure this is still the current status. Oddly enough, for several years the colorimeter was said to be a better instrument for calibrating the black level of screens. As for calibrating TV's, my understanding is that the pro's use a spectrophotometer which has a sensor technology quite a bit different from that of a colorimeter.
