Datacolor Spyder 4 Pro (Electronics)

Customer Review

Since 2006 I calibrate my monitor - a must for photo editing and viewing. Previously, I had a Spyder2Express which however did not work for a PC-exchange with new graphics card (GeForce GTX 650 Ti Geoforce). The calibrated representation was completely reddish.
The Spyder2Express software was the same age, there were no updates. My guess is that the old ColorVision software simply does not harmonize with the Nvidia driver, confirmed the change on the Spyder4Pro. Of course, is also a business model ...

Calibration with the Spyder4Pro is similar to the Spyder2Express. There is also the ambient light measurement during Kalibierung and then permanently. Depending while time interval (Never, 1, 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes) will be adjusted to the ambient light, the Kalibierung. For this purpose the Spyder4Pro the PC remains connected and is placed under the Monitor. A blue LED (you can change the set by default annoying blinking permanently in lights only during measurement of the ambient light) indicates that the ambient light is measured and calibration is adjusted. Really I'm not yet convinced (desk lamp -> ambient light means lamp -> weak again -> medium) that changes the display brightness and color adjustment. Whether 40 EUR worth more against the Spyder4Express, remains to be seen. I can make a renewal calibration in 2.5 minutes instead of Neukalibibrierung in 5 minutes only worthwhile if one week renewed calibration. I've had enough a monthly renewal, then I can spend 5 minutes.

Installation is a bit annoying: I choose a language German made, although the languages ​​are a Chinese simple and traditional, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Russian in addition installed - each 71 files in four folders per language in slow motion are extracted from the DVD. I have found no way to change the interface language. So what should the botch? There is one star less.
