Calibrating your display is not about getting colors that "impress" you. It's about getting the correct, reliable colors that you'll get on your prints and that match the standard color gamuts. Often this are duller than the original, as display manufacturers push a lot of contrast and...

I use my Spyder4 with the 2 hour dispcalGUI calibration, that gives me very nice results, also in the blacks.

Here the colors aren't only controlled by your TV, but also by the computer. Therefore, to have reliable colors, you would need a hardware calibrator such as Spyder4. If you just want to correct a bit you could try with the built-in calibration of your OS (Windows/Mac). But this won't be...

I use the Spyder4Pro too, but to match 3 displays you would need the Spyder4Elite, which has a "StudioMatch" function just for that. By the way, buying and selling won't help much because you need to recalibrate each month or so (lifecycle of monitors will change the colors and brightness...

Well calibrating without hardware calibrator is not possible. As you're doing it with your eyes and our eyes can't simply read the colors on the screen objectively as they're always beeing tricked by our brain, which adapts the view on the ambient light situation (luminosity, color temperature...

If your Eizo supports hardware calibration then do it with the ColorNavigator software. It's a much better calibration given that the correction is saved in the LUT (LookUp Table) of your display. I do that with my EIZO and a Spyder4 and can only recommend. Only use a software like dispcalGUI...

Man, there's a big mess in this thread, which is comprehensible. Had the same mess myself experimenting with a lot of tools. At the end, a friend showed me how to do with a Spyder with its own software which was a lot clearer to me. Calibrated in 5 minutes and am doing that each 2 months. Was...

Why are you getting yourself in so much trouble to calibrate your screens? It doesn't have to be that difficult and necessary to use an alternative open source software, where you have to know exactly what you're doing on each step. Is the x-rite software really that bad? I mean, I have a...

My Spyder is a Spyder4Elite. Until now, I had no issues. I order my prints online and when comparing them to softproof in photoshop, they look equal. I think Spyder3 had some hardware issues, but I read in forums that Spyder4 solved these due to its new sensors. What brought me to buy...

I don't get why Spyder shouldn't work well. I work with one since more than a year and get accurate colors on all my screens... My print-outs look very well in contrast when I order them and just like they appear on my softproofs. But you all seem to be sure that Spyder measures wrong.. am I...
