With a two monitor setup, it’s important that the calibration and brightness of the displays are close enough so that it’s not distracting during daily use. I use a 2013 iMac with a 27″ 2.5K display and a HP ZR2740w 27? IPS display (also 2.5K resolution) in my office. Both the ELITE and PRO models also feature an ambient light sensor, which takes into account your room lighting for a more consistent viewing experience. Spyder5ELITE offers advanced calibration features for setting gamma, white point and gray balance on your displays – including projectors.

Fortunately, there are some pretty handy tools to take on that challenge.ĭatacolor is one of the industry leaders in the monitor calibration market and the new Spyder5 tool makes it painless for the most part. Monitor calibration is one of the necessary evils that photographers must learn to cope with now that every image we create must pass through our computer in this digital age.
