One thing I just noticed in the chart below is the huge recalibration time.
SPYDER 4 ELITE UPGRADE
My suggestion is if you have the S3Pro, return it for the S4Pro and see how you get on w/ it and if need be, upgrade teh software to Elite.
SPYDER 4 ELITE PRO
For many, the Pro is more than enough but if you're going to try to match multiple monitors and/or some other features, the Elite may be preferred. They sell you the same hardware and make the $$ difference in the software (which is keyed to the hardware). I doubt the S4 is $80 more than the equiv S3. Make sure you're comparing the same thing. Not sure but the spyder 3 works very well for me What kinds of folks should upgrade to the 4 for that super duper double shielded filters? I haven't opened the Spyder 3 Elite, yet. On average, accuracy and precision are improved by 26% and 19% respectively. The DataColor site says, "The fourth-generation sensor uses double-shielded filters for longer life and better performance. Unfortunately, I just noticed the Spyder 4 was released! The 4 Elite is $250, almost $80 more than the 3. It may end up being a tad more expensive but I think it would be worth it because you're always going to want consistent results out of such a device.I just bought the Spyder 3 to go along with my Dell U2711. X-Rite display calibrators seem to be favoured a lot over Colordata's Spyder devices and I think I may try and get one of those because if you're going to invest in such a device you should get it right the first time I believe. This device is the X-Rite i1 Display Pro. Although he uses much more expensive higher quality display calibrators, he did recommend the cheaper device he uses because you get much more consistent results. I actually emailed Simon Baker (TFT Central) about the Spyder 4 Pro specifically and he told me that he's never been that impressed with the Spyder devices because there's a lot of inter-unit variance and he's never found the results to be that great.
SPYDER 4 ELITE SOFTWARE UPGRADE
Theres an option to upgrade from Pro to Elite via a software upgrade if need be, but it's expensive though.
SPYDER 4 ELITE PROFESSIONAL
However I'm not sure whether I need the level of adjustment the Elite offers because I'm not a professional by any means. I'm in the same boat as you, the Pro is more favourable to me due to multi monitor support. Sorry for late reply mate, and I should've saw that you were based in Sydney before I posted the link. Of course if any of you can direct me to another reliable and trustworthy store like Ted's Cameras that has these devices for decently less, then please leave a link to the site in your post, please. This does seem like a lot of money to spend on such a device but I believe that it's a worthwhile investment. NOTE: All prices are in Australian Currency.Īs you can see there is a $70 difference between the Express and the Pro and a $100 difference between the Pro and the Elite. I'll probably be getting the device from Ted's Cameras and at the time of writing the prices are as follows: I would like to not be limited by the number of displays that I can calibrate and for that reason I've been looking at the Pro version but also at the same time looking at the Elite version because it as unlimited adjustability, and knowing how fussy I can be, I think that I may go with the Elite version. However I'm finding on the Dell that I can't seem to get colours quite right (mostly grey, I've heard that if you can get a neutral grey on your display then every other colour should be correct) and so I've been looking into getting a display calibration device and as such I'm trying to figure out which Spyder 4 version of the product would suit my needs the best. Okay, so I wasn't getting much of a response with the previous version of this post so I decided to modify it to better get across what I'm asking.Īs some of you may know I bought the Dell P2314H IPS monitor the other week and I've found it alright, colours are certainly much more vibrant than my HP TN panel display.
