The La Cie monitors used by our photographers and calibrated with Prove It were always colder and brighter than the Barco's. In the last week we have just bought the Pantone spyder with OptiCAL. We currently only have a three user licence and I have only calibrated two monitors so far, but the first impressions are good. Software is easy to use, with instructions in simple english and not techno speak. Viewing a neutral grad at 100% shows very little colour shift. Any slight shifts I would tend to put down to the monitor/graphics card limitations rather than the software. > also build and support. The build seems solid enough and we haven't had the system long enough to comment on support.
