Questions about Spyder 3 Calibration

What is it about the Syper 3 Pro vs the Express that allows dual monitors to be calibrated?

Is it the sensor itself? I have a Dell laptop with a junk screen and I have it hooked up to an NEC231WMI for obvious reasons. I use this setup as an extended desktop, but really don't use much on the laptop screen.

Do I need to get the Pro model? What prevents me from calibrating each screen individually?

Although the sensors look different between the 2 models, it's probably software limited.

I don't know about the sensor but the package as a whole is different.

If you have Express, check with the company to see if they will update your software without needing another sensor. I don't know the answer.

I should have been more clear.. I am looking to buy one of these kits.

Thanks for the help so far

Are you looking to simply calibrate two monitors separately, or are you looking for a "studio match" that will calibrate the two monitors as closely as possible to the same "colour space"? Just asking...

If you are looking to calibrate a dual monitor setup, then get the Pro version. The Express won't support it.

But you can use the Express on more than one system.

And, it's the software and sensor together you need to use.
