From: "Larry Colen"
Years ago, I bought a datacolor spyder 2 express (or whatever the
inexpensive one was) because there was supposed to be software available
to use it on a Linux box. Datacolor explicitly mentioned that they didn't
want their units used on linux and wouldn't help. I eventually gave up,
and bought an iMac.
The software for it specifically prevents using it to calibrate multiple
monitors on the same computer. There are workarounds, but they are a pain
in the ass.
I'm looking to upgrade it to one that will calibrate multiple monitors.
Since datacolor are such dicks about hobbling their hardware to sell more
expensive software, and about linux, I'd rather not buy another product
from them. Not completely opposed, but d on't want to.
What monitor calibrators do people reccomend?
I think iOne is the preferred solution for Apple and ColorMunki for
Windoze. AFAIK, they're both manufactured by the same company. I don't
know if either one has software for linux.
Supposedly the latest version of the Spyder is supposed to be able to
handle LCD/LED TVs as well as computer monitors. I briefly considered it
before deciding to replace the HDTV I'm using for a monitor.
I bought the ColorMunki, but haven't tried it out yet because I'm still
saving up for the monitor I'm planning to use it on.
