Well, I guess I'll send back the Spyder 3 and get the i1 Display Pro and be done with it. On top of that, they're be to share those abilities in the form of photographic examples that the dumbest of us(me) can make sense of.

And, they often come to fairly concrete conclusions about it's abilities compared to what's already available. What exactly are we waiting on? How is testing still in early stages? I know when a new camera body comes out, from any manufacturer, there are countless reviews almost instantly. The Datacolor Spyder4 Pro (99.00 at Amazon) offers an affordable way to calibrate multiple monitors so that they all produce consistent color and image detail and stay that way (it's a good idea. What I do know is that the i1 Display Pro has been available since July 2011. Ok, I'll admit I don't know anything about color calibration. I will read up in that.Īs far as I know, QC problems aside, the S3 is one of the only ones that is good for wide gamut I wouldn't at all be surprised if the S4 turns out to be better than the S3 though. Granted testing is still in the early stages for the i1 Display Pro so it remains to see how it will pan out in the long run. Maybe the Spyder4 will be amazing and the best yet but there are no reviews or tests regarding it yet, but the i1 Display Pro is already showing some extremely positive signs in early testing (see also the Dry Creek tests where in their initial test so far it has had less copy to copy variation than anything under $2500).

Like the Syper4Pro, the Spyder4Elite is a 4 th generation Spyder that contains double-shielded. This Spyder can be used to calibrate LED, OLED, LCD and CRT displays, meaning that it can be used for a much wider range of machines. I have some early hints that it might even read, straight out of the box, my wide gamut monitor BETTER than my $900 i1 Pro Spectrometer. Out of the two models, this is the more expensive one, but it does have a few more capabilities than the Spyder4Pro. It tests well on a wide array of display types. When I look back at "double-shielded filters" I feel like a mark at worst buy being given the Monster Cable sales pitch. Other units take only 10 seconds so I'm surprised by that. One thing I just noticed in the chart below is the huge recalibration time.
#SPYDER 4 ELITE VS PRO UPGRADE#
My suggestion is if you have the S3Pro, return it for the S4Pro and see how you get on w/ it and if need be, upgrade teh software to Elite. For many, the Pro is more than enough but if you're going to try to match multiple monitors and/or some other features, the Elite may be preferred. They sell you the same hardware and make the $$ difference in the software (which is keyed to the hardware). What's Fixed in 4.5.4 color cast after calibration on some systems incorrect primary values stored in profiles on some systems invalid gamut plots in Spyder4 and/or Advanced Analysis on some systems inconsistency between gamut plot in Spyder4 and gamut plot in Advanced Analysis on some systems What's Fixed in 4.5. I doubt the S4 is $80 more than the equiv S3. Make sure you're comparing the same thing. Not sure but the spyder 3 works very well for me What kinds of folks should upgrade to the 4 for that super duper double shielded filters? I haven't opened the Spyder 3 Elite, yet. On average, accuracy and precision are improved by 26% and 19% respectively.

The DataColor site says, "The fourth-generation sensor uses double-shielded filters for longer life and better performance. Unfortunately, I just noticed the Spyder 4 was released! The 4 Elite is $250, almost $80 more than the 3. We hope to have our hands on one soon so we can check it out and see who it stacks up against X-Rite’s latest ColorMunki offering.I just bought the Spyder 3 to go along with my Dell U2711.
#SPYDER 4 ELITE VS PRO PROFESSIONAL#
It can be used on projectors as well as monitors and has an array of other features aimed at the professional video production crowd. The Elite checks in at $249 and gives an even more customizable experience. It also gets ambient light measurement to keep things looking right in varying lighting conditions. The Pro jumps to $169 and adds more control options and multiple display support. It’s designed to calibrate a single display, which includes the iPad or iPhone if you use the SpyderGallery app. The Express is the cheapest option, coming in a $119. The Spyder4 comes in three sizes, all of which Datacolor claim deliver a 26% improvement in accuracy and low-light luminance performance. I did not plan to spend too much, so I am thinking of either getting a Datacolor SpyderX Pro or an X-Rite i1Display Studio, both are currently listed for 169 at B&H. One product announcement today gave us a chance to remind you of the importance of backing up your files, so it only seems right that we use the release of Datacolor’s new Spyder4 color management systems to nag you about getting your color profiles in order. cf782 wrote: I planned to get a colorimeter to calibrate my 27' iMac 5K and 30' Apple Cinema HD Display for both still and video.
