- Does what it's supposed too.
I have had this calibrator for around a year now and have used it on a number of different displays, all of which gave good results (much better than before calibration anyway). This is perfect for someone looking to calibrate their displays for the first time or people who are new to color management.

Although the software looks somewhat dated it is very easy to use. You are first required to do a little work yourself setting your displays brightness and contrast levels with the aid of a Black to Gray gradient chart, after that you place the spyder on your screen and it goes to work reading the Red, Green, Blue, and Gray levels, before reading from black to white to set your color temperate. You can then flick between your old ... Read More:

- A good simple and effective product
I have installed the software and I found everything easy to understand.

I wanted to give this product a good rating and one which I feel it deserves.

I managed to successfully calibrate my monitor with no problems in a small amount of time.

It's simple and effective and there was no complicated procedure involved.

- First-time Proper Calibration
I had done software calibration on my Mac before but didn't think anything else was really necessary. However, I got some feedback that my photographs viewed differently on other people's calibrated monitors, and a picture printed for an exhibition came out very differently from what I expected.
On advice, I decided to properly calibrate my monitor to ensure consistency in the processing of my digital photographs.

I was shocked at the price of these devices and settled on this 'home user' model as a result. The downside is that the calibration is only basic and not Industry-standard. If you are looking for a professional level, you need to buy the more expensive version. The software in the 'pro' versions is much more complex ... Read More:

- Good basic bit of kit, works well.
Having spent 15+ years as a film based photographer. I got one of these as I am starting to work with a D-SLR and want to be able to get good consistent print results.

I have to say this is very simple to use, you just install the software and follow the on screen promps from the wizard. The only thing to remember is to remove the existing colour profile from the monitor before you start calibration the first time so as to have clear base values for the meter to work from.

The screen will look a bit dull and warm (yellow) when calibrated ( well mine did ), but after a few minutes using it you get used to this, and the colours are actually spot on. This will pay for itself with the savings in wasted paper and ink in no time. ... Read More:

- Solved My Colour Management Problems
Ordered yesterday, arrived this morning and monitor calibrated one hour later. Initially it gave me wierd results even though I had reset the LCD monitor to factory settings (as advised in the Spyder software). Then I realised I had the graphics card (Nvidia) set to use the previous Adobe Gamma profile (which was never that successful as you had to do it by eye). Reset the card to the "standard" profile re-calibrated using the Spyder and the monitor is now perfect. Best it has been and I have checked it against several websites that show calibration charts.

The previous reviewer may not have set his graphics card correctly before calibrating as this is what I did wrong and got some weird colours on the screen.
