The intuitive user interface seamlessly guides both novices and professionals through a fast and easy calibration process, ensuring colour accuracy, consistency, and fine details.

Additionally, the SpyderPro offers unlimited calibration settings for truly customizable workflows, supports calibration for high-brightness monitors, includes video/cinema targets, and provides the option for colour continuity across multiple displays.

Heath Barber, Director of Product Management, Consumer, notes, “Both the Spyder and SpyderPro are designed to calibrate a variety of displays, now including the latest technologies such as OLED, mini-LED, and Apple Liquid Retina XDR displays. Calibration helps optimize the advantageous features these displays offer, such as colour richness, and finely detailed shadows and highlights.”
