I suppose that "cheap" is in the eye of the beholder, but I don't think that $115 is bad: http://www.amazon.com/X-Rite-i1Display-Calibrator-Laptop-Displays/dp/B000JLO31M/ Less expensive than the Spider 3 Pro (with similar 4 star customer reviews). Spider 3 Express gets similar 4 star reviews for $66 at the budget end. For similar reviews I like to breakdown the star ratings to get a better picture. For example, the X-Rite i1 has the most reviews (120). Out of those 120 it got 13 1-star reviews (10.8%) Spider 3 Pro has 79 reviews with 9 1-star reviews (11.4%) Spider 3 Elements has 34 reviews with 1 1-star review (3%). Even if the next person to review gave it 1-star it would only have 6%). I also look at what percentage give it 4 or 5 star ratings, and if there are more 5s than 4s. All are similar in that regard: X-Rite (74%), Spider 3 Pro (76%), Spider 3 Express (78%). I will be needing to make a decision on one of these in the not-too-distant future, so I appreciate this thread.
