 Helps a lot on laptop, probably not needed for good LCDs. July 17, 2008
Good tool. Doesn't make that much difference in LCDs but made a huge difference on my Dell laptop.
Look into the Microsoft Control Panel color applet if you use a docking station.
OVERALL, seems to be a good device and helps give you some piece of mind.
Great product for the money. July 5, 2008
I purchased this software from Amazon a week ago. It does everything that's claimed for a price I can afford. Can't ask for much more than that. It did an excellent job of calibrating my VeiwSonic VA1912wb monitor. Colors are more saturated now and it took the red hue out of the orange colors. Glad I bought the Spyder2Express.

This is not what I would consider a "Pro" unit. But it does what it does very well.
I calibrated both my MacBook screen and my huge 30" screen. Both look better then before. I checked the gamma best I could, as well as compared it to color chart printouts. The accuracy was better then before.
I did notice it made the screen seem warmer by a very subtle amount. This was due to the fact my screens originally had a blue cast to them.
There are no controls that allow for "tweaking" things such as gamma and color temp, but my video card supplies these so I can still adjust the look.
This only calibrates at one point (center of the screen) so it will not fix spacial discrepancies.
Overall, a very good buy if you are looking for a cheep way to calibrate your screen with good accuracy.

I bought this product because I didn't feel I was getting the most out of my new monitor regarding accurate color. After calibration with the Sypder2 Express, my Gateway FHD2400 monitor's colors are more accurate and I can see more detail in pictures, especially in dark areas. The image quality has definitely improved and the colors are more true-to-life.
Installation was a bit of a pain, probably because I have XP x64 but I did get it to work just fine. It is very easy to calibrate, you just launch the software and follow the menus. Calibration takes 5 minutes or so.
If you're searching for a high-value monitor calibration tool, this is the best you can get according to my research. This is basic but it gets the job done.
