We have always been told that the hardware is the same.
Its the same hardware; but there are some limitations built into the firmware, so don't simply assume that anything that looks like a Spyder2 can be used with any Spyder2 software.
Thus why we keep asking if there is a software only deal so we can get the home theater capabilities from our monitor version.
Well, for starters you would need to be willing to run the home theater software on a Windows machine, they don't have Mac versions of these products. Getting them to offer a crossgrade price to you is the other issue...
I calibrate my (Mac-based) home theater with Spyder2PRO, since thats possible on the Mac, where videostreams run through the VLUT corrections at the videocard. They don't do that under Windows, and Vista, it appears, limits this even further.
