Conclusion
Yes, Calibrite’s ColorChecker Display Plus is a little bit better than Datacolor’s SpyderX. Especially in terms of contrast and grayscale performance. However, this does not change my previous results regarding the tested monitors. Because, firstly, all monitors were tested under the same conditions. Second, the differences – in terms of color accuracy – between the two tools are quite small. Not a single conclusion – in terms of color performance – would have been different with the ColorChecker Display Plus.
A good monitor reveals itself with the SpyderX just as with the ColorChecker Display Plus. A bad monitor will remain a bad monitor with both devices. Even a 5,000 euro measuring tool would not change that. Unless you want to the third decimal place – be the master of the obvious. Who needs it…
What does this mean for SpyderX owners? You have a good calibration tool for your flicker boxes. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable, especially for private purposes. The ColorChecker Display Plus also makes a very good impression. The minimally better measuring performance also costs considerably more. A real conclusion about the overall package of Calibrite’s ColorChecker Display Plus cannot be drawn, based on today’s comparison alone. This will be shown in a separate article.
Then I calibrate a monitor with Calibrite software and re-measure with Calman Ultimate. This will also happen to the SpyderX, then we will know which of the two included software is supposedly the better one. With this in mind, I hope that I have been able to convince you that my SpyderX can separate the wheat from the chaff. This makes it suitable for the purpose: monitor testing –>. It doesn’t always have to be the most expensive measuring equipment. Good –> also goes cheap!
