Datacolor Spyder Essential

Spyder lets you easily calibrate your monitor in only about 90 seconds, so you can be confident that you're beginning your editing from an accurate colour starting point, saving you valuable time and effort in your editing workflow. The result? True-to-life colour and fine detail capture.

 

Intuitive software and one-click calibration ensure ease of use and professional results for even the most novice user, while customizable calibration settings allow experienced professionals creative flexibility.

Spyder now calibrates an even wider range of laptop/desktop displays, including the latest technologies like OLED, mini-LED, and Apple Liquid Retina XDR, so that users can optimize the color richness, deep shadows, nuanced highlights, and enhanced details these monitors make available. Spyder calibrates wide and standard LED gamuts as well.

 

With Datacolor's exclusive Device Preview Beta feature, you'll be able to simulate what your photos can look like on other devices on your own calibrated screen without uploading them to other devices for preview. Device Preview Beta also allows you to soft proof your image in print so you can view how your image will appear on paper.

 

Automatic Room Light Switching measures and tracks the lighting around you to make sure your current display profile is the one best suited for your environment. Not every task requires controlled lighting so allowing Spyder to adapt the calibration to your room lighting will ensure your monitor profile is optimal. During a Room Light Calibration, multiple profiles are created for different room lighting levels.

 

CheckCal is Datacolor's answer to the question, "Is my calibration still valid?" CheckCal performs a short test on your monitor to verify your calibration is up to date.

 

A native USB-C connection comes standard with the Spyder, along with an additional USB-A adapter for added convenience when needed.
