This colorimeter/sensor/calibrator is significantly easier to use than my old one. It is much more compact. I am very pleased with the ease of installation, ICC profile creation and ease of application to the NVidia graphics card my new computer uses.
FYI, this unit comes with a standard usb end on the cord with no usbc adapter. Being that the setup says not to run it through a hub, I purchased a usb - usbc adapter to hook it up direct to my MacBook.
Otherwise, if you use only one monitor, for you this could be a five star. It's fast and easy, and as far as I can tell, pretty accurate.
I've been using colorimeters since CRT days, with good results. My discontinued X-rite Eye-One worked fine until I installed Windows 11. After that the software would always report that there was no profile for either monitor.
I recently purchased the cheaper Pro version, which didn't work for me at all. When calibration completed, the monitor would shift to a green tint. Both monitors did the same thing. The old X-rite could do better job with it's outdated software.
Then they went on sale. The Elite was now the same price that I paid for the Pro. So, I switched with Amazon, hoping fancy software would make a difference. Devices are both the same Spyder X. I used the same procedure previously used with the Pro software and calibration was perfect on the 1st try. I didn't use any of the extended Elite feature set. I expected to be able to make a software comparison, but now suspect that my 1st Spyder X was probably defective.
Addendum: Now that I've had the Elite for a few days, I can see that the Elite software is necessary to make 2 different monitor types look exactly the same.
Anyway... The software is lacking in usability. It works, but it's slow and a little cumbersome. It was frustrating for me to go through and manually calibrate each monitor, thinking that the calibrations would be used to sync all three, but just make adjustments, only to have to entirely redo all the calibrations and then sync them. It's an example of somewhere they could be a little more clear about what does what. Not a big deal, but it did eat an entire afternoon to get comfortable with it--the actual calibration process is fairly slow.
My biggest gripe is that fact that I need a software key for when I just bought what is essentially a $200 **hardware** key. If I didn't own your expensive device, I wouldn't even need this software... what the hell? This is the kind of thing that is usually done to prevent people from buying and selling the product as used, but there's no other verification, other than to link it to an email, but if that's already been done...? All you have to do is tell the person you sell it to what the key is. If they forget, they have to go to you rather than Spyder, but whatever. I don't think that's Spyder's intention, necessarily (please don't get any ideas!), but rather just some kind of delusion from the software engineer. It's still completely unnecessary and you may not think it matters, but it caused me problems.
Yeah, they include one in the box, but you have to link it to an email. And after a year of forgetting the key was in the box, the box got recycled in a cleaning phase. But blessed be! The good lords at Spyder have blessed me with an alternative: I can send a request to have the key that was registered to my email sent to my email! Or can I...
It was Friday night when I first requested my activation key. They tell me my key has been sent right away! Not in my inbox. Not in spam. Not in any of Google's auto categories. Wait until Saturday night, still no sign of the email, so I request it again. Again, I look and cannot find it. I must wait. And wait is what I do. Sunday morning, no sign. I send the request again. And again 2 more times that day. No answer. They must have a human manually verify these requests, I ponder. It is the weekend; maybe I'll have better luck Monday. Monday morning. Request sent. No response. All day I wait and all night. 10 PM monday night. I try to request the key One. More. Time. before ultimately giving up. 2 seconds later, the key is in my inbox.
What the hell. Please remove the need for an activation key. It is absolutely silly.

Es mejor calibrar con Displaycal, que es gratis. Tendrás que instalar los drivers del SpyderX a través del programa, pero es sencillo.
