Hi, i will buy Samsung S27A850, this monitor has a bad default calibration i am thinking in buying a calibrator.

I want to know the most affordable calibrator that works. I am no professional and dont need an expensive calibrator. I just want that works reasonably and it's them most possible cheap without compromises...

Many thanks
 
I don't know about "most" affordable (buying the cheapest thing you can is almost always a bad idea, anyhow), but I like my Pantone Huey Pro just fine. You can get one for well under $100 and, when combined with Argyll CMS, it does a fine job of profiling and calibration.
 
well i said i want an affordable with no compromise, so i want a reasonable. 100$ its ok to me. Do you have any place as a guide to work with Pantone Huey Pro and with Argyll CMS?
 
I have read reviews stating that the Huey Pro is several years old and that the hardware is not suitable for LED backlit monitors. They may have meant the software included with it. Have you had success with your device calibrating LED backlit monitors with the open source package mentioned? I am in the same boat as the OP, looking for an inexpensive calibration device.
 
If you only want the standard values (6500k, 2,2 gamma etc) a spyder 4 express in enough.
