Most monitors have a marked cool bias in their default state that needs
to get corrected for the prints to work out; if the color prints look
like the monitor the Spyder is doing what it needs to do and you'll get
used to it fast.  I frequently take my color corrected monitors for
granted, which gives a rude shock when I try looking at photographs on
not-so-adjusted monitors.

I love mine, saved me endless amounts of fiddling and the LCD on my
laptop all of a sudden can be used to proof prints.
