Hello All!
There many useful suggestions and responses to my question about screen calibrators last month. I've got a step closer to buying one in the sense that I think I narrowed my choice to 2-3 models: Spyder3 Pro or Elite and X-rite i1Display Pro or i1Display 2. As far as I understand, the differense between Spyder3 Pro and Elite is just in the software (B&H actually sells "upgrade" CD from Pro to Elite). The main difference I can see is that Elite software can handle projectors. (This, while is not the primary goal for me, can be useful, as I occasionally give presentation with slide shows.) 1. What I cannot understand is whether Pro or Elite can handle multiple monitors, and if they do, - how do they do this: do they create separate profiles for each monitor? 2. The way somebody mentioned that Spyder3 Pro/Elite takes care of the ambient luminance is that it offers the user options of what to do (add/do a different calibration or adjust the lights). Is it different from how other calibrators deal with the ambient luminance? (in particular X-rite i1Display devices?) Does X_rite i1Display change the calibration automatically when the ambient luminance changes? 3. Is the hardware (the device) different for i1 Display Pro and 2 in the functionality? What is the difference? 4. Besides i1Display 2 (which is discontinued) not being able to deal with projectors, what other features does lack, compared to the Pro version? 5. If I understand correctly, i1 Display systems allow comparing (measuring) the prints to the display, and adjusting the display calibration that way. Is this correct? 6. On Amazon, one of the reviews says that using i1 Display 2 with 2 monitors on one card was not trivial. Is that right? If somebody is using i1 Display Pro -- is it still the case? All and any inputs are greatly appreciated.
