Re: [datacolor_group] Widows 7 and Spyder3 Elite

>>After I have installed Windows 7, do I install the graphic  
software: ATI Randeon 4200?

Generally speaking, any software from a graphics card company is only  
going to conflict wirh color management: I'd start by not Installing  
it, and only add it if your videocard won't work without it.

 >>Do I install all the software that's provided by Samsung?

If they offer a full featured display calibration package for this  
display that supports the Spyder, and you wish to use that software,  
then install it. Otherwise, install the Spyder software and use that.

 >>Then calibrate the monitor with my Spyder 3 Elite?

Depends on what software is available, and which you prefer to use...  
If their software is available, and will set internal LUTs in the  
display, then you should do that at least once. After that you need to  
decide if you wish to use that software permanently, or if there are  
advantages to the Spyder software (such as calibrating all your  
displays), and if you want to run that on top of those LUTs instead.
