 Made a world of difference with my CRT. October 22, 2007
The difference was like night and day on my CRT. The correction on my Laptop LCD and 24" LCD monitors was not as notable.
The reason I bought this was that my colors were appearing drastically different on my photo prints than compared to screen. Before the Spyder I was adjusting the hues to my uncalibraited monitor and introducing a color shift when printing. This was corrected with the use of the Spyder.
Colour Shift on Vista October 3, 2007

Software version 2.3.5 installs easily on Vista and calibrates the monitor. However, everytime the new profile loads into the graphics card at start-up, it is quickly overridden by the original profile and colours shift back to factory settings. Colorvision says this is a Vista issue that affects other manufacturers' software too. User forums suggest it's likely to be a graphics card issue. Either way, a workaround is needed.
Version 2.3.5 sets Gamma at 2.2 and White Point at 6500K rather than Native. The calibrated colours look very good although the shadow areas are a touch dark. For the money, this is a very good product, at least once the colour-shift difficulty is resolved.
[Update 1 Nov 2007] My laptop came with a "Switch to XP option". So I switched. The Spyder2 profile now loads flawlessly and stays put and I can meaningfully edit my photographs. I would have preferred not to have to change the OS, but the photos are more important; the difference between calibrated and uncalibrated is sufficiently significant to justify the change.

My laptop is connected to a new Samsung monitor. This product did not work for me even though I disconnected the monitor knowing that I may have problem with dual monitors. The screen is the same before and after carlibration. Emailed to customer service and still did not work. Wasted my money.
Simply amazing September 26, 2007

I don't usually get too excited about tech products, but this one really worked for me. I have a 3 year old Dell running Windows XP with a 19" LCD and the results are absolutely incredible. I almost can't believe how much better everything looks. I bought this product because I've been very frustrated for some time about the variations I was getting from my monitor to printed photos. The printed images really didn't look the same as they did on the monitor. Once the Spyder was finished calibrating the difference is huge. Photos and the LCD display are almost a dead match. Highly recommended.
Horrible Product - tried both express and pro September 26, 2007

I am horribly disappointed in the Spyder products. I started with the pro version, which ruined my dual screen calibration. Then I tried this version thinking it might have been a dud. This is worse. Doesn't do dual monitors and made the image yellow and dry. Terrible product. Returning it today. I will never buy a colorvision product again. I gave them a chance on two different products across many 5 different displays. ALL...yes, all....failed with worse color than they started with. Beware of this crappy product. I wish there was something better....but Eye One is pricey and I heard mixed reviews on the Huey. What else is there?
