Spyder3 does a reasonable job with the earlier white LED backlights, which offer a standard gamut. The display you note is a cutting edge (I'm tempted to say science fiction) screen with green and blue LEDs, and a red coating. We are developing support for this new screen type with Spyder4, but, as you note, the older Spyder3 is not designed to measure these newer technologies. So, my general advice applies here a well: when buying a new generation display, prepare for the need to get a new generation calibrator as well. Fortunately the Spyder4 updates for new display types without even downloading a new version of the software.
