However, you can buy this, try it, and if you don't feel it's of much benefit, sell it in six month's time, or whenever. Originally, I was going to say that if you don't know if you need a colorimeter, then you probably don't. but if it is a very good choice for the price, then I don't dislike the idea to go faster when an opportunity arise, but all I read, like X-Rite comment, 3 years duration, put some doubts as usual). here? (I'm the kind to usually do a shitload of search when I buy stuff, etc. I know that is a lot of details, questioning, doubts.ĭoes someone that know about it can quickly summarize, emit recommendations, etc. Her main monitor is Dell UltraSharp U2417H for now (bought this on rebate < 300$ as she wanted a decent budget monitor with good color with her new build ~ 2 years ago). She was a bit complaining/wondering the color might not be super accurate (maybe because she has dual monitor and the second one is very old but still she wonder and would like to make sure her color are accurate). She is also no more doing this pro but still enthusiastic about personal picture she take of our family, kid, events, etc. My partner used to do photo professionally (wedding, photoshoot, etc.), but she never had a costly pro monitor, nor used a calibrator. #Spyder5 pro express elite displaycal softwarePro vs Elite is the same hardware, just software differ Some suggest to use cheaper solution, software based, pre-made profile on AVS forum (?) ![]() You can rent one at your local photo shop for like 25$ for 3 days ![]() Buy a used X-Rite one for similar price on craiglist Calibrator might not be useful in 3 years because of organic filter, but X-Rite's ones are inorganic, will they last long? Is that a steal? I mean I read stuff like this thread and the March thread: ![]() Like would I see some difference? Say wow this look better? but I'm not doing photo but care about accuracy when it matters or give a better feel of course).Īre they making a difference for a normal computer user who care about accuracy like me but who now has a cheap IPS monitor and still feel OK. If someone use a not super high end monitor (those costing thousands) is it a waste of money? For example those Dell UltraSharp 24 inches that were supposed to be good for a budget monitor for people doing photo work? (Or any other budget photo monitor in the 200-400$ price range that are recommended on review site, might shop those for my partner in the next year and might shop 2-3 IPS monitors for my own desktop usage, software development, etc. *** I know we are the 28th, but the website still show 115$, might go anytime or they might extend it? *** If I get another calibration device it would be an i1. Not impressed, but maybe they have fixed that situation by now. #Spyder5 pro express elite displaycal 64 Bit(3) I got an email from Datacolor a year ago indicating my Spyder Express might be rendered obsolete because they weren’t going to be updating their software for the latest Apple MacOS that requires 64 bit apps. #Spyder5 pro express elite displaycal tvIt does not make any adjustments to the settings in the TV, so when you watch TV in the normal way with a signal from a PVR, Roku box, etc there is no correction. This works only to correct a TV that is connected and used with your computer, that’s because the calibration process just creates or adjusts a “profile” file on your computer that is used to correct the signal sent from the computer to the monitor/TV. (2) re calibrating TVs (and projectors probably). At that time (few years ago) I concluded Displa圜al software was essentially beta test and needed more work and I decided not to try it any more. I tried Displa圜al (shareware) and it took over an hour each and results were worse, huge waste of my time. (1) the included software works well, takes only about 5 minutes per monitor. Also corrected an older Samsung monitor making the colour very similar to the Dells. Definitely improved the colour but it can’t do miracles so it was unable to totally correct one of the Dell monitors which I think has a minor defect (very slight green tint and uneven tones, normally almost unseen). #Spyder5 pro express elite displaycal seriesI have a DataColor Spyder 5 Express I got about 3 or 4 years ago, to calibrate a couple of Dell S series IPS monitors used dual screen with a Mac Mini PC. ![]()
