Disclaimer: I don’t own one so my excitement is based on a reader from M2MHQ giving me a run down on how well it worked and from reading the site.

This is one of those products that has a niche audience but that audience (photographers, graphic designers…the list goes on) are very picky about the color correctness of the display(s).

Here is the one I WILL get soon:

The Professional’s Choice for Monitor Calibration
Professionals require exact color matching across all aspects of their workflow, and Spyder2PRO? delivers. The ability to calibrate to custom gamma and temperature settings, as well as perform RGB Pre-calibration offers the utmost control over the artistic process. With Spyder2PRO? you can create profiles to your specifications and distribute them to multiple monitor and remote computers, so others can view output exactly as you do. All of this, plus front projector calibration, custom response curve targeting, Ambient PreciseLight? and the first software-only printer profiling tool that gives fast and precise results.

Spyder2PRO? Offers all of the features of Spyder2 Suite? Plus:

• Unlimited choices for Monitor Gamma and Temperature - Absolute control over color
• Ambient PreciseLight? - Function Adjust profile settings to reflect different types of studio lighting
• Custom Profile Creation - Create and share your profile with all displays you work with, including clients
• Automated Black and White Luminance Adjustments - Provides for the most precise targeting and consistent calibration results
• Multiple Display Type Capability - Calibrate all of your CRT, LCD and laptop displays or projectors
• Easy Software Wizard - You don’t have to be a color expert to obtain perfect results

If you have multiple LCD screens on multiple computers, like I do, this is a must. Every advertising agency and design shop should have one. Maybe they do, it’s been a while since I worked at one.

Check out the site and if you have one, used one or know of something better, please sound off in comments.
