Quote - In many ways purchasing 2 19" is smarter than, say, one 30" or even one 27"

Can you give us a short paragraph how calibrating with a Spyder 3 Elite takes place?

::::: Opera :::::

Sure, the Spyder 3 is a device that plugs into a USB port and gets attached to the front of your display so that it can read the pixels. There is software that comes with it and the software generates colors / luminance, etc that the Spyder 3 device optically reads. Since it knows the color that is being generated, it can determine how different the color is that it is seeing and creates a color profile that produces the correct colors. You then use this color profile with your display and you will get true colors. The Spyder 3 also has the ability to sense ambient room light and tell you if the lighing has changed enough to require re-calibration. It's a clever little device.

I assume other calibrators like the GretagMacbeth Eye-One and Pantone Huey, etc. work in a similar fashion. It really helps to make sure that your getting consistent colors in your art work.
