Anyone used the Spyder 2? Does it do what it says on the can? Any others that anyone regards as superior?

I have Spyder2Pro and it works great. Huge difference in what you think your color is then what it really is when you see the before and after calibration shots. I no longer have any issues with prints not matching the screen. As to other software, I'm sure there is better and worse. Others may shed more additional light on this subject.

I've used it, it works amazingly. I thought my screen displayed good, correct colors, and then I decided to buy this and calibrate. The difference was huge. It works VERY well.
