    Normally Pro Photographers use these.

      Would this be any good for calibrating a TV or projector for home theatre use ? Or really only for specific colour/temp matching for photographers etc..

        If it is a bargain you need it…..work out what it does later, bargains wait for no one! If it is a big enough bargain you can always change careers and take up photography to justify the purchase!

    I bought an i1 to replace a Spyder3. Id never go back to Datacolor and their shitty borderline-unusable 90s software.

    Not to mention it actually calibrates wide gamut monitors properly.

      Thanks mate.
      Look forward to trying it out when it gets here.

  How does this compare to the Spyder 5 Express? Not sure if I'm colour blind but calibrating using the Spyder has made the whites more bluish ..

  • 

    bbourizk on 18/07/2016 - 17:47

    On my monitor a Dell 27" it had RGB sliders that I can adjust. It helps getting a blue cast of the monitor which is present when it's not calibrated.

      If it's a newer Ultrasharp, it can calibrate automatically without having to fiddle with sliders. You just need the Dell-specific software.

        @bbourizk: My U2713H is 3 years old and supports it. Could be worth checking.

        @eug:
        I think that's the model I have. Two of them.
        I always calibrated then with the RGB sliders.

        Will check out those links and recalibrate one the i1display gets here.

        Thanks again.

      If your monitor is calibrated incorrectly, getting it correct always makes it look wrong. It's a mindexplosion the first few times you do it :-)

        Seriously!! Not even sure of my colours anymore.. Haven't yet printed .. Guess that might give me an idea of what the colours should look like on my monitor.

      • 

        eug on 19/07/2016 - 13:52

        @Dealayed: Do make sure your monitor is capable of producing good colours first though. Otherwise it'll never be correct.

        @eug: it's a HP 25xi http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_…

        @Dealayed: Mmm can't find good reviews, but the spec page says it covers 72% NTSC which usually means 100% sRGB. It's an IPS panel too. Should be good!
