For comparison see here:

Don’t know any of the others, at the place I used to work they all used Spyders so…

Spyders technically work with ArgyllCMS, but they need their own lut that you have to rip from the source software to work properly, otherwise they skew so green it looks like you’re photoshopping stills from the matrix.

I know there are ones available new at my max budget, but I’m trying to get a deal on a used one. Like, if someone has a colormunki but doesn’t like how slow it is i’d gladly pick it up.

Ah well alright, didn’t know that :slight_smile:

Appreciate the suggestion all the same.

Gonna be doing some interesting content with it when I get one, basically gonna be looking at the absolute cheapest panels you can get away with working on, if cheap CRTs are still viable, OSD vs. CMS management, and finding price sweet-spots for content producers on a budget
