Original Spyder Colorimeter -- Use on LCD?

2007-06-22 by Michel Joly de Lotbinière

Hello, I have one of the original Spyder USB colorimeters (three
transparent plastic legs w/suction cups), which I use on a CRT
(OptiCal software).

I'm aware that the more recent Spyder hardware comes with an LCD
baffle that protects the LCD surface from those evil suction cups (in
fact, I never allow the cups to stick to my CRT either). Does this old
sensor, which looks exactly the same as the first version of Spyders
that included the LCD baffle (before they started using a more jazzy
black/silver plastic case design), have what it takes to measure an
LCD? And is there anything else that would stop me from using this old
Spyder sensor on an LCD, taking precautions not to let suction cups
stick? Would the software not let me use it on the LCD display type?

Any help would be much appreciated!

M.
