Looking to pick up a new IPS display and need to calibrate (does not good to get a new monitor and have it be off). Whats my best low cost option. Single display only.

Wow the Spyder4 came down in price. I'm still using Spyder2Express and feel like the color is not exactly right :\

I haven't tried many different calibrators but have been using a Spyder3 pro for some time with success. Easy to calibrate, I seem to get consistent results, and was able to calibrate 2 side by side monitors and actually have them look the same. :) I would assume that the Spyder 4 is an improvement.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.
