Spyder2 has a removable base; for LCDs you need to have the base on,  
and suspend the Spyder by the cable, using the counterweight and  
tilting the LCD back a bit.

Your issue with brightness and blueness is caused by the display being  
too bright. Try the ambient light feature, or simply create a target  
with a white luminance of about 100 to 125 candelas. That assumes you  
own Spyder2Pro; if not, then dim the LCD before calibrating. Be sure  
to tell the software your LCD has a backlight control NOT a brightness  
control!
