COLORMUNKI DISPLAY VS SPYDER 3 PRO PRO
When the Spyder 3's were introduced, Datacolor decided to have three levels of product to offer and the Spyder 3 Pro was somewhat crippled, software wise, as compared to the Spyder 2 Pro. The S2 Pro has a dedicated screen for setting white & black luminance. Yes, but in its day, the Spyder2 Pro was the top model, equivalent to the Elite level available now. The Pro does give some analysis: A Gamut map compared to sRGB, Adobe RGB and NTSC, a Tone Response showing measured gamma curve, a Brightness and Contrast chart showing black level, contrast ratio and white point as a function of 0, 25, 50 75 and 100% brightness nd a table showing the same data for different OSD presets. The Help file is not very clear as to what applies to each model and what doesn't.ĭon't know about the Spyder3 but I could do it with the Spyder2 Pro. I don't see and "Advanced" vs "Easy" option. That is a big time saver and good news for people who feel the Express is too minimal but don't want to spend the $$$ on the Elite. Spyder, CM Display, i1Display Pro) is probably a better choice as far as the monitor goes. So versus the S4 Elite, with the S4 Pro you are not going to get some of the extra analysis functions or the ability to target a black point but the Pro will handle dual monitors and it does give you an active reading (with a refresh click) of white luminance using the puck sensor prior to the software creating the ICC profile. So it also allows you to tweak brightness! This is different I think than what the Spyder3 Pro users had. Even after going through Apples calibration steps. In this case I'm ignoring the recommended luminance of 180.Īh! this is early in the calibration cycle where you are setting the color temperature (white point) using the advanced mode (as versus the easy mode where everything is automatic and you don't touch the sliders). I have a 24' Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP which was connected to an older MacBook Pro. When you get to what you want click "Continue". It measured 104.7 so I would tweak the brightness and click "Update" until I get it where I want. Note that it shows color temperature and measured luminance. ColorMunki has a more accurate sensor but results could be better if the software routine allowed you to use custom RGB controls in the monitor for initial setup.
Between the Spyder4 and ColorMunki, take your pick of the best of two evils.
