There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This colorimeter/sensor/calibrator is significantly easier to use than my old one. It is much more compact. I am very pleased with the ease of installation, ICC profile creation and ease of application to the NVidia graphics card my new computer uses.
The calibration process is going to take some time for anyone to get the most out of it. the best results was obtained by resetting the monitor to factory defaults, followed by adjusting the brightness levels whenever the calibration program says so. if results are weird or not quite good enough you then need to tweak the monitor to use a different light temp level. so far I've not gotten off the 'assistant' part of the install, and so far its done its job.
The elite version is a wee bit on the pricy side, but if you do any photography work it is definitely something you ought to consider.
I've been using colorimeters since CRT days, with good results. My discontinued X-rite Eye-One worked fine until I installed Windows 11. After that the software would always report that there was no profile for either monitor.
I recently purchased the cheaper Pro version, which didn't work for me at all. When calibration completed, the monitor would shift to a green tint. Both monitors did the same thing. The old X-rite could do better job with it's outdated software.
Then they went on sale. The Elite was now the same price that I paid for the Pro. So, I switched with Amazon, hoping fancy software would make a difference. Devices are both the same Spyder X. I used the same procedure previously used with the Pro software and calibration was perfect on the 1st try. I didn't use any of the extended Elite feature set. I expected to be able to make a software comparison, but now suspect that my 1st Spyder X was probably defective.
Addendum: Now that I've had the Elite for a few days, I can see that the Elite software is necessary to make 2 different monitor types look exactly the same.
Wow !! totalmente diferente mas claro mejores colores, olvidate de calibrar a mano y al tanteo, necesitas un calibrador como este y listo

I thought this gizmo was expansive and I was skeptical that it would do any better than my eyes could but I decided to give it a try anyways...
OMG.... Within 20 minutes , my 3 monitors were configured and the colors match PERFECTLY between the 3 screens.
The software provided is perfect for my needs, and will be perfect for 99.9% of SpyderX targeted user, I.e. average guy/gal. If you're a pro photographer or video editor , just buy a professional product and software and stop bashing this product & software, which works perfectly for the average Joe.
Par contre il faut aimer avoir de belles photos car cette sonde n'est pas bon marché...
