New to forum but not new to Colorvision/Spyder Products

2008-01-03 by andrewmarkson

I have been using the Spyder 2 suite product for the last 2-3 years.  I 
have a Samsung 213T LCD monitor.  I have always been a little concerned 
over the wide variation across the profiles created with the Spyder 2.  
I take all precautions with respect to ambient light falling on the 
monitor, etc and still often end up running the profiling software 
several times before I am happy with the result.  Generally, I seem to 
end up with a red tinge to varying degrees.  Not sure if this 
phenomenon is common?

Now seeing the Elite 3 product, I am wondering if I upgrade if the 
variability in profiles will be reduced through better software and 
newer spectrometer. I want to be sure as to the level of performance 
improvement before I commit to another $230 or so.

I hope that there are folks on this forum who now have experience of 
both products and can therefore provide constructive comment.

Many thanks

I have certainly heard that from a number of users, and seen posts to that effect on various forums, so even without my own (admittedly biased
