System Requirements Review: Simple and effective - Got my Spyder this morning and I'm pretty impressed. I bought it in the hope of solving a serious problem with the screen on my MacBook Pro (The screen is, by default, way too light, and attempts to recalibrate it by hand using the Mac's own calibration utility and the 3rd-party SuperCal utility resulted in excessive contrast and severe colour casts, making it basically unusable for colour work). Basically, the Spyder paid for itself in five minutes - after one quick-and dirty calibration, the MacBook screen is now perfectly usable. Having calibrated the desktop monitor too, there's a tiny difference in colour temperature between the two machines, but they're perfectly usable as is, and the software has plenty of options to let me fine-tune later on. Pros: Does the job straight out of the box without me even having to read the instructions (though I'm sure I'd have got slightly better results if I had) Cons: When first activated, the Spyder software installer looks for older versions of the software to update - trouble is, on one of my machines the text explaining this was in (I think) Chinese(!), leaving me a little in doubt as to how to proceed... Number of swearing-minutes to set up: One, because of the Chinese dialog box, none in setting up or running the software/hardware. Review: Frustrating problems, but I've got there in the end... - Well I was nearly going to return this. For a start, the documentation says it doesn't work on multi-head monitors, which is why I bought it. In practice, it recognises the screens attached to my Radeon HD 5770 fine. It also says you should only use direct USB ports, not via hubs / keyboards etc., but the length of USB cable provided makes that completely impracticable. It did work via the port on my keyboard. Secondly, after installing the software (I'm on Win 7), it kept crashing when I tried to calibrate my monitors. Only after a reboot would it actually work. So, after some work, I'm finally calibrated, and my monitors do at least have near-identical white balances, which they didn't before. I have to say, though, that they all look a bit too blue to me. So, in summary, no problems with the hardware (except the cable length), but the software could be a lot better. ## Features - Spyder3Elite PC/Mac - PHYSICAL SOFTWARE - datacolor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000X4X35C | | Customer Reviews | 3.3 3.3 out of 5 stars (44) | | Date First Available | October 12, 2007 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00875720000698 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 8.66 x 6.3 x 3.15 inches | | Item Weight | 2.65 ounces | | Item model number | DATA130 | | Language | German | | Manufacturer | Samy's Camera | | Product Dimensions | 8.66 x 6.3 x 3.15 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** datacolor - **Format:** CD-ROM - **Hardware Platform:** Mac, Pc - **UPC:** 875720000698 719821314202 ## Images ![Spyder3Elite (PC/Mac) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jj3hn9ARL.jpg) ![Spyder3Elite (PC/Mac) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pts3rPLnL.jpg) ![Spyder3Elite (PC/Mac) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+64S0zuZL.jpg) ![Spyder3Elite (PC/Mac) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sVkkQCkiL.jpg) ![Spyder3Elite (PC/Mac) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+JUI-gxjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I am having trouble figuring out how to install this product?
