Hi,
I have improved my Dell Inspiron laptop calibration *drastically* by selecting "native white point", after reading some help files on X-Rite's site.

Also I wondered how your results with the Spyder 2 compare with the Eye-One Display, Eric.

The Printfix Pro suite is now undercutting the ColorMunki by a considerable margin, so it is on my shopping list at present.
