I have the regular SpyderX. It's very much needed and also getting into the habit of soft proofing and using the correct profiles for your monitor and working space . You see many people wonder why their jpg or png looks desaturated on export. It's especially crucial if you use a pen display and also an external monitor. A lot of the newer pen displays have wide color gamuts compared to most monitors. Artists will pick colors that don't translate well in sRGB and wonder why (they are picking super vivid colors on their wide gamut pen display)

I used to have a Spyder X. I bet very little has changed in the X2. They look identical. I ended up getting an Xrite i1Studio so I could calibrate my printers as well.

Nice review. Just ordered X2 Ultra myself, after thinking about proper calibration for years and always forgeting it. Weird how something so crucial is an afterthought or barely registers for most people.

Especially funny since I use apps like Photoshop, Premiere to even Unreal editor (as a game dev). You'd think colour calibration would be the first thing I'd do but, nope.

Does the "target" option at 5:29 actually clamp the gamut if the name would suggest that (e.g. DCI-P3, AdobeRGB, BT.709) or is it just a quick gamma/wp preset ?

[Obscurainc]

does it detect the room ambiance level to the calibration as well?

Hello, which one u reccomend Calibrite Display Plus HL or Spyder X2 Ultra? Thank you.

Can I ask you how many monitors or computers or laptops you can use this device to calibrate the display with one serial number if you need one to activate the software?
