5 out of 5 stars Works Great   June 14, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.

5 out of 5 stars Good value product, gets the job done   June 6, 2008

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.

easy to use. just install the software and follow the instructions. Keeps my monitor calibrated and reminds me when it is time to recalibrate.

I can't vouch for this thing the way a professional photographer/graphic designer might, but it did what I needed. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW 22" LCD Monitor (did not get it at Amazon, BTW), and 3 different manufacturers make the panels that are sold under that name (thanks a lot, Samsung). Mine was way too blue, and I couldn't fix it very well with the monitor settings. But after I used the Spider2 Express it was like a blue plastic filter was just detached from the screen. Its colors' now match monitors I know are fairly accurate, so I am pretty happy.
