Serial Number Help Sep 03, 2008
I recently changed over from a PC to latest iMAC. Transferring software for this product I found a prompt for a serial number. However I had long since thrown the packaging. Reading general customer comments on the web I found a lot of negative press for Data Color help desk and complaint that customers could not get the serial number. However my experience was very good. I got a quick response, you just need to quote them the number on the USB plug. Calibration worked great!

If you're on an Intel Mac, don't bother Aug 29, 2008
The colorimeter itself seems fine, but the Mac OS X software for this unit is buggy and not a universal binary (which, if they were going to update it for Intel Macs, I would think they would have by now). Twice I had it crash at the end of a 10-minute calibration, before I was able to save the profile. The app would subsequently hang on opening, so that I had to completely uninstall it to get it to launch again. I returned it and will spend the bigger bucks on a Gretag-MacBeth or Xrite unit.

Great product and easy to use Aug 28, 2008
This made a big difference on my gateway laptop. Before, some things just didn't look right. This brought a new level of quality to my laptop monitor. I highly recommend it. It is pretty easy to use.

Good except for.... Aug 23, 2008
The product is easy to use and worked well for me, except I had to send it back because it cannot handle a dual monitor setup with 2 profiles. I confirmed this with the vendor. So, go for it, but only if you have one monitor.

better than expected, amazing Aug 22, 2008
I have a webcam site and I do extensive photography. I use Photoshop CS3 and have used Photoshop and Premiere since they were introduced. I thought I was good at monitor calibration with adobe gamma, nvidia calibration, etc etc.
The Spyder2express did a better job in 5 minutes than I can do in a hour (or forever). It was a huge improvement in all my color matching, print, monitor, and webcam color balancing.
I have two computers that use the same monitor. I switch back and forth with an iogear kvm. One PC has a high end graphics board, the other a cheap board for my webcam. The spyder2 calibrated both PC's to the same monitor so well that I can't tell the difference when quickly switching between computers on the display. It worked better than I had hoped. I may not need to upgrade to the spyder3 but I may do it to get control of monitor color temperature.
