Any happy users here???

Its a pretty good entry level monitor calibration, but less flexible then the professional version (also 100$ difference ). Essentially a pretty good software if you don't want to get all down and boggled about colors

Hmmm, anyone know if it's really just the software that is different from the different spyder models?

Will this work if I use the VGA (or dvi-->hdmi conversion) cable and hook it up to my lcd tv via my computer? I got a 32" Sceptre from Costco and was wondering if this product could be used in this manner.

Cyn, it you are using the TV as a monitor, it should work. However, if you are trying to calibrate the TV for TV viewing, it won't. It saves settings as a Windows color profile. Also, if you are running dual monitor, you cannot calibrate both monitors. Personally, I think for most users, the entry level Express version is all you need.

Thanks for the tip. I've been starting to think about getting hardware based
calibrators.

What thoughts do you have about printer calibration? Are there any relatively low cost
options to do a pretty decent job of hardware assisted cal. for both screen and printer?
