No brainer.....works great Used Spyder 2 Express on 20" lcd with total satisfaction. Could visibly see 2% deviation from full black/white easily. An easy set up and go no brainer....good value for the $$ IMO
Glad I bought this I read a lot about monitor calibration and asked several people their opinions before purchasing this product. I found good and bad reviews on every product out there. In the end I went with this one because a friend had purchased it and was very happy with it and the price was affordable. I have calibrated once so far and have been happy with it. The advice I received was to calibrate at night when you can make the room totally dark so the ambient light does not effect the colors on your monitor. I would recommend this product to anyone in need of an inexpensive monitor calibration software.
Helps a lot on laptop, probably not needed for good LCDs. 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. 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.
Works Great 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.
