The Elite model is for professional photographers and videographers who want maximum control over their color workflow. The Pro model is designed for serious photographers who want a fast and easy-to-use calibration solution. Visual fine-tuning for side-by-side display matching.
Display matching across all of your studio monitors.The Elite model does everything the Pro model does (calibration, multiple monitors, ambient light measurement, etc.) but also allows for expert-level calibration options. X-Rite makes great equipment, so I’m basing my review of the Datacolor SpyderX against another titan in the industry. Most recently, I’ve been using the X-Rite i1Display Pro and ColorMunki systems for my laptop screens and desktop monitors. Additionally, I’ve been printing on large format printers and inkjet printers for quite sometime and have also been teaching printing workshops for almost 20 years. I think I have used calibration tools from every company in the marketplace, including systems from X-rite, Pantone, Datacolor as well as their subsidiaries over the last 15 years. I have been using screen calibration tools since I started digital photography back in 2003. Knowing that your monitor is showing you accurate colors gives you the confidence to publish your content across the spectrum of visual media. Datacolor also claims that the SpyderX is the easiest-to-use monitor calibration tool ever created by Datacolor.Ĭalibrating your computer monitor is one of the most important steps you can take for producing great images, beautiful prints and/or stunning video. Datacolor claims that this technology significantly increases precision, color accuracy, and low light capabilities. The SpyderX Pro and Elite colorimeters both use a new lens-based color engine for calibration. My tests were with the SpyderX Elite which allows advanced calibration on multiple types of computer displays and video projectors.įor more about using SpyderXElite, head over to One is the SpyderX Pro that retails for $169.99 and the other is the SpyderX Elite that retails for $269.99. Video reviewĭatacolor released two calibration systems in February 2019. It competes at the same level as the other calibration systems in the industry and is a high-end tool for professional photographers and videographers. I highly recommend the SpyderX Elite and can confidently say that it does an excellent job of calibrating my monitors.
I’ve written this review as a service to our audience and as a guide to those who might use this equipment in their own workflow. They did not compensate me for this review, nor do they expect anything specific in return. After meeting with their PR team over a conference call, they sent me a pre-release SpyderX Elite calibration system to test. Datacolor contacted me a few months ago about a new color calibration product they were releasing.
