Most colorimeters will get the job done in a few minutes and remind you when another checkup is due. Monitor output fluctuates, so you’ll need to periodically recalibrate. So to choose between them really is a case of weighing up the extra cost and the usefulness of these specific features. Otherwise, though, there's not much difference from the Calibrite ColorChecker Display Pro.

Plus as well as USB-A, you also get USB-C connectivity. It also offers higher accuracy in dark colours thanks to it use of black current subtraction technology. While the company's other monitor calibrators are suitable for displays up to 1,000 nits, this one can accurately measure luminance/brightness levels up to 2000 nits. It's specifically aimed at professional filmmakers, editors, colourists and photographers using super-bright HD and HDR monitors. The ColorChecker Display Plus is Calibrite's top-of-the-range model, and as such the most expensive.

#COLORMUNKI DISPLAY VS SPYDER 3 ELITE PRO#
There's no doubt that the SpyderX Elite is an excellent monitor calibration tool, but we'd only recommend it over the SpyderX Pro if you specifically need to calibrate your monitor to suit video color spaces, or want complete control over every element of the calibration process. Both versions maintain excellent calibration accuracy scores with negligible Delta-E variation. Given that they use the same hardware, it’s no surprise that the Elite manages a very similar sub-two-minute calibration time to the SpyderX Pro. The most valuable is arguably the ability to calibrate your monitor not just to conform to a typical 2.2 gamma and 6500 K white point, but also to color space standards like sRGB, Adobe RGB, NTSC and Rec 709.

The Elite version of the SpyderX colorimeter may look identical to its cheaper Pro sibling (above), but fire up the Elite’s software and you get a host of extra features. Whichever version you opt for, Datacolor’s calibration software is easy to use, yet includes plenty of customization to suit lots of monitor types.Įxtras aren’t essential if you just want to calibrate and go The Elite (number four on our list) adds projector profiling, pro-orientated advanced calibration options, and its video color space targets are useful for video editing, but for most photographers we reckon the Pro edition offers the best bang per buck. Given monitor calibration isn't a once-only procedure (you should calibration roughly once a month to ensure consistent color accuracy), such a noticeable time saving is very handy indeed.Īvailable in Pro and Elite flavors, both SpyderX versions offer features like ambient light monitoring and multi-monitor support. In our hands the Spyder X Pro calibrated our test monitor in a staggering 1 minute 15 seconds. The result is a claimed increase in calibration accuracy, especially in the lightest and darkest image regions, and a sub-2-minute calibration time, making this the fastest Spyder calibrator ever. It uses a brand new lens-based sensor system rather than the old honeycomb baffle on the Spyder5. “If you’re also interested in creating printer profiles for new papers, or fine-tuning your printed output, the Spyder3Studio SR is well worth a look.SpyderX is the successor to Datacolor’s popular Spyder5 monitor calibrator series. If you already have a monitor calibration device but you’re interested in adding printer profiling to your arsenal, you can get the Spyder3Print SR in a separate package for $339, making it the least expensive printer profiling option available. If you’re also interested in creating printer profiles, the Spyder3Studio SR, at $599, is a complete package for monitor and printer calibration. At $89, it’s an excellent value that will give you immediate benefits in more accurate color reproduction.
I find that the additional gray patches render a slightly better profile than the ColorMunki, but the differences are minor and best seen in a side-by-side comparison.įor the “get-it-done” type who is only interested in a quality monitor calibration, the Spyder3Express can’t be beat. The entire process of creating a chart (aside from the printing and drying) takes about 15 minutes with the High Quality Plus Grays option-similar to what it takes with the X-Rite ColorMunki.

You can go back to re-read a patch if you need to for any reason. As you measure the chart, each patch will display the original and the measured values.
