How well do these budget units do? I need a proper calibrator, and would like to get some opinions on these two, or if there is something else in that $100 price range. Now that I have an IPS, (that's why the limited budget) I figure I should start calibrating properly.


If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

I have both of them, and neither are very good. I urge you to take the step up to the ColorMunki Display or the Spyder4Pro if you can possibly afford it.

But if you MUST go for one of the cheapies, go for the Spyder4Express. The Smile is seventeen kinds of awful.

Thanks. I think I'll wait then.
