Monitor Hardware Calibration

[btaylor]

Just to follow up - I ended up buying the Spyder 3 Express and so far it seems spot on. Got a few printsmade upand the colours and exposureare pretty much perfect between what's on the screen and what prints. It's also very simple to set up and the software is simple.


I must say it's a nice change to have confidence that what I see on screen is going to come out perfectly. It's a nice product and for the price I'd highly recommend it.

The Dell u2410 is also a great piece of gear by the way. Beautiful colour rendition, plenty of peripheral's (except a bloody CF card reader - has SD and XD), great resolution, looks nice, is massiveand doesn't cost a fortune.


I'd highly recommend it as well [Y][Y]

G´Day btaylor,


Glad to hear you bought a product you are happy with. Every photographer should have a hardware calibrator.

Ben,

Have you been happy with Spyder 3 Express over the long term? I'm currently using an 8-year old monitor and thinking about taking some Christmas gift cards towards an entry level IPS monitor LG IPS235V and am interested in getting its colors, as well as those on my laptop and the wife's laptop calibrated. Given I'm looking at ~ $200 monitors I really don't want to spend much more than $100 on a calibration system and am looking at Spyder 4 Express.

Thanks
Dave
