Re: [datacolor_group] Spyder3Elite 4

2010-05-03 by Aram Melkoumov

hey,
i had the same issues before and after upgrading to 4.0 software.
i've played around with RGB settings and Kelvin, it helped a bit but colors are still not true. i have this reddish/pinkish effect after calibration. when i restore my dell 3008wfp to factory settings it goes away.

Sincerely,

I can see a difference in uncalibrated and calibrated switching, but its all the same effect no matter what settings i put it at. There is always a pinkish overlay. When u look at bright white it looks pinkish. Please help. Thanks

May I join this thread? First, could I clarify how to install Spyder3
Elite4 upgrade? I bought my Studio SR kit just over a month ago so
qualify for (and have received) my free upgrade serial number.

After first installing the software from the CD I have updated that
software so that I presently have Spyder3 Elite 3.1.4 and
Spyder3PrintSR 4.1.1 installed.

Do I need to uninstall the previous software before installing the
latest version of Elite, or can I install "over the top"? I take it
that any existing profiles are undisturbed?

Like Aram though, I have a monitor colour cast problem after
calibration - in my case a "greenish yellow". I've repeated the
calibration many times with the same result. I'd like to install the
version 4 software to see if that resolves the issue.

Kind regards
