There are three different versions of the Spyder 5: Express, Pro, and Elite. The device itself is a little smaller than a hockey puck with a 7-filter color sensor inside that physically measures the color output of your computer monitor. But, Datacolor’s new Spyder 5 monitor calibration tool attempts to make the whole process quick and simple, while showing you exactly what kind of difference it makes. Buying a monitor calibration system isn’t cheap and, quite frankly, it’s not as exciting as a shiny new lens or another piece of gear.
Considering the amount of time we spend staring at our screens, trying to get our images just right, it seems crazy how many photography enthusiasts are using uncalibrated monitors.
