I mainly want to calibrate my monitor (mid level Dell) for true colors and be able to get fairly close to matching prints via an on line lab. My monitor (older Eizo SX2762W) has a 16-bit LUT table. I do recall reading somewhere though that the Spyder 5 Express + Displa圜AL works well and is considered a great value. Can I use that file on any computer, any OS, as long as it 'follows' the monitor attached? The Spyder5 can use either (via Displa圜AL, not via the vendor software), but the choice is mutually exclusive, and Displa圜AL makes sure that selecting a colorimeter correction sets the measurement mode accordingly and vice versa.

Why? Is Datacolor just better, or is Displa圜AL moreĪfter calibration, the software writes an ICC file. Inder one hour to calibrate the display, while Displa圜AL spent Does Datacolor adjust the monitor for me by programming the graphics card? And is it just that Displa圜AL does not have that functionalty? Or is it something else?Īnother 'major' difference is time: Datacolors software used well Displa圜AL needs me to adjust the monitor first (brightness, contrast, and RGB-gain), before calibration begins. I also use that Spyder4 in Linux with Displa圜AL, and have some questions about those two calibration softwares:ĭatacolors software is just plug and play: I plug it in, press next a couple of times and it's done. What a great product for a fair price, the only thing I regret is that I took so long to decide to buy it, it would have saved me from ruining so many photos I edited on the laptop.I have a Spyder4Elite with Datacolors software running in Windows. Spyder5 was the previous version, whereas SpyderX is the current generation of sensor. which you dont need to care about, if you end up using Displa圜AL anyway.

The difference between Express, Pro and Elite is the capability of the bundled software.

Then I plugged my laptop to the TV to profile it and again the difference was amazing. Just take the cheapest SpyderX you can find and youre good to go. The laptop screen had a blue cast that made it nearly impossible to use for photo edition, but after profiling it with Colormunki Display in a process that takes only around 6 minutes the cast was nearly totally gone (the quality of the screen is really poor so still it wasn't perfect but it was way better). With the Dell monitor the difference in color was nearly imperceptible (as it is factory calibrated) but the adjustment in brightness was spot on. As soon as it arrived I calibrated my laptop screen, my Dell factory calibrated monitor that I connect my laptop to when I'm working with photos and the TV that I use to watch the movies from my laptop. This product is very easy to use and the results are astonishing.
