By John Nunn TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
This is not just a tool for photographers, anybody who uses a computer to produce digital works should consider using one. I design and build websites and software, the colours I see on my screen are not neseceraly what can be seen on the end users, by using the Spyder to calibrate my monitor I can work in the knowledge that atleast what I see is what should be seen on another machine if it were also calibrated.

The elite version of the Spyder3 uses the same colorimeter as the Pro version but has an enhanced version of the softawre allowing mulitple monitors to be calibrated to the same target providing a consistant enviroment for a team. If you need more than just one machine to be calibrated then chose this version otherwise the pro (Spyder 3 Pro (PC/Mac)) is just as good for a little less money.

The solution itself consists of some software and a usb colorimeter, the colorimeter is used to measure the output of the screen. The software then can create a custom colour profile for your display. The whole process can take between 10 and 30 minuites dependent upon your pc.

The colorimeter can be left plugged in sitting in a desktop cradle and will continually moniter the ambient light levels and provide an alert if you need to recalibrate your display.

Overall a very usefull addition for anybody working with digital images.

Spyder 3 Elite 2 Aug 2009
Purchased my Spyder 3 after photos on my laptop where not printing as they where viewed on the screen. Easily installed software guides you through the screen calibration and in minutes the screen is calibrated. I had some issues with the picture once calibrated so contacted Datacolor through their website. I must say that the technical support is fantastic, e-mailing me back the next day with the instructions of what I wanted and asking for me to contact them if this did not work. It did and a few days later I again had an e-mail from Datacolor asking if everything is okay.
Good product, easy to use, good support and compared to the other screen calibrators not to badly priced.

Indispensable ! 11 Mar 2009
This is an incredible tool. I have a multi monitor set up and for the first time I am able to get seamless colour transition between the screens. As a bonus, an older, but very high quality screen that I had which was tending to be rather yellow and proving very difficult to obtain a colour balance has now been accurately profiled.

Straightforward and simple to use, it literally 'does what it says on the box'

An absolute "must have" for anyone involved in digital imaging.

Hit and miss.
I bought this to calibrate my two work monitors, and more importantly, to get them to look the same as possible. It worked really well on one of them. Read more

Tinting issues
Currently I would not recommend the Spyder3. I am experienceing tinting issues. I've returned the Spyder3 for a check, but they said it was OK. So I guess it's a software issue.

Frustrating problems, but I've got there in the end...
Well I was nearly going to return this.
For a start, the documentation says it doesn't work on multi-head monitors, which is why I bought it. Read more
