Monitor Calibration - Spyder3Pro

Astraeus · 29 Jan 2012

After reading extensively on here and the wider internet, I have decided to plump for a Spyder3Pro. I'd read WEX had some good offers on them with the Spyder4 now around - however I am seeing the 3 at £100 and the 4 at £120, making me think I might as well opt for the newer model.

Anywhere selling the 3 at a price which would tempt me away from the 4? I need multi-monitor calibration too. :shrug:

Do you have dual graphics cards? Multi calibration might be a pain otherwise.

PS: I'd go for the newer version if I were you.

As long as the existing graphics card supports running more than 1 profile (most pci-e will) the spyder3 will work

Fair one. I've been on a laptop for so long that I out of touch with bighorn end cards!

Got this little beaut - should be okay, shouldn't it? Dual DVI so I expect it is set up for multi-monitor.
