I am looking at purchasing the Spider 3 Elite after listening to your podshow…
A wide range of prices for the product. $299 locally in Canada and B&H in NY is $236 USD and this price includes the shipping. I found another online shop called Calibration Direct who had the lowest price $209.90 USD shipping included but I don’t know if they are a reliable/trusted seller. Anyone bought through them and wish to pass along their thoughts? I’d really appreciate an endorsement of Calibration Direct before I buy!
I had no idea how messed up my monitor had become after I upgraded to Vista until I was asked to look at some high-res photos - wow. Since I couldn’t find a good Vista tool at the time - after some research - I put together a list of simple visual tools that can help you quickly get your monitor close to calibrated.
