Hi folks,

it sounds like a confession, but today I used for the first time in more than 20 years with PCs a monitor calibration tool. I bought Spyder2pro (see link) to be used by my department and calibrated first my Sony LCD screen at work. If I hadn't seen calibrated screens at professionally photographing colleagues before it would have been a real revelation. Never felt money spent more usefully...

(The image attached is used for preliminary calibration and was spread by the German Photoindustrie-Verband.)

It is on my very very long wish list :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

I bought the Spyder2Pro a few months ago. The setup was a tad bit cumbersome, if you ask me, but I think it worked out alright. I set mine up for re-calc every 3 months (20 in Dell panel).

well - it's on my wishlist too... but it's quite a lot of money... :$ but apart from this... can those tools also be used for regular monitors...?!?

the Spyder sensor at least works for CRT and LCD monitors...
