Yeah, I use the Pro because I have multiple monitors. I've had good luck, except for the last time I did my mac laptop screen something went horribly wrong and everything became vaguely green. Running for the moment on the default profile that came with it until I figure out what went off the rails. Assume it's temporary because it worked with my wife's HP monitor and another big Dell I have at the office.
Kind of horrible software user interface, but usually works. -T On Wed, Aug 3, 2011 at 8:38 AM, Paul Stenquist <pnstenqu...@comcast.net> wrote: > I use the very inexpensive Spyder Express (the older 2 version), and it is > quite adequate in that my monitor and my prints are a near perfect match.
