i know the iMac comes calibrated out of the factory but it's now a few years old so I thought I get one of these. Which ones should I get? X-rite pro or Datacolor spyder pro?
Sorry to butt in.
I already have a Spyder 4 Pro and I'm using a LG 4K monitor http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-31MU97 with True Colour Pro (the calibration software that comes with it) on Windows 10.
Do you think it's worth spending £159 to get the Xrite Pro or don't you think I'd see much improvement?
Thank you.
Thank you. You've saved me £159No, try "Display cal" junk the spyder software.
Thank you. You've saved me £159
I'll try the software out. But, I'm not using the Spyder software.
Cool.Even the X-Rite is held back by it's own software and is capable of much more so I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
I calibrated using DisplayCal. It's very slow, it took well over a hour to complete.
I can't see any differences from using the True Colour Pro software.
But, it does provide extra info after calibration.
Yes. My Spyder shows up in the software.Did you install the color correction data for your Spyder.
You say there is no difference for example ? comparisons e.t.c.
If you bought it from Amazon, I take full credit for saving you £30 off the new price and whatever amount off the Warehouse price.
Last week I told Amazon the competition were selling it for £159 (Amazon were selling it for £199), but I'm not sure why they didn't price match with the other stores.
If you didn't buy it from Amazon, I've just wasted your time reading this soz
Ahem …

I actually called Calumet, ask them if they could price match as I never bought from Wilkinson Cameras before, Calumet told me that at £149 is less than their cost price!
I also alerted Amazon of this price, waited a bit to see if their price adjust before giving in and bought it from Wilkinson in the end. It came via DPD too.
