The Spyder4 is available in four models, distinguished primarily by the software capability so you can upgrade via Datacolor's Web site. We're a little less clued in about how the Spyder can calibrate so many devices but we promise to explain how it calibrates the iPad at the end of this review. Otherwise we found the Spyder4 to be a very familiar friend with a full-spectrum 7-color sensor to read a variety of common displays.
The software component adds a few wrinkles, too:
The company also notes they have improved consistency between units by 19 percent. Who wants to see all their hard work blown up by an uncalibrated monitor? Nobody.ĭatacolor claims the new model, distinguished by its tuxedo black color scheme, is 26 percent more accurate on average with double-shielded color filters that improve its long-term stability. And for pros (and the serious amateur), the stakes have never been higher. With the proliferation of screens, Datacolor is hoping its Spyder4, which can handle them all, will be as welcomed among consumers as it has been with pros. But it hasn't been as widely adopted as its importance might suggest. Hardware monitor calibration - which is what Datacolor's Spyder is all about - has always been important for achieving accurate color on your monitor and minimizing surprises from your output devices.
