I have an NEC MultiSync P221W display that I calibrate with an NEC SpectraView II sensor. Does anyone know how effective the SpectraView II will work in calibrating a new iMac 27 Retina display?

Thank you.

No. Spectra was designed specifically for NEC so the software works with NEC only. I had to get an i1 Display Pro for my iMAC. My Spectra collects dust now.

Don't want to lead you astray so I blew the dust off. I think the software I was using was called Spectravision.

My sensor says NEC - SpectraSensor PRO.

NEC confirmed that The SpectraView II sensor will only work properly with NEC displays. Also, the sensor will not work with 3rd-party software.

Yes I was pretty sure you couldn't. I may have called XRite myself but that was 4 years ago. Your sensor's name is different so I wanted to be sure my info was not accurate.

I tried using a Spyder on my NEC and it did not go well. The tubes in the NEC got so weak I could not hit the brightness level so I turfed it.
