How to calibrate your monitor CHEAP? [~$150] | Calibration PROCESS of Datacolor Spyder X PRO

[@JimLeonard]

Your vertically-oriented monitor showed a huge improvement after calibration. Switching between the two it was clear there was a magenta cast to it before calibration. Thanks for the video.

[@Kevlexicon]

thanks for all the great work you're doing. making intimidating tech stuff approachable and logical. Your channel has become a go-to whenever I have a computer-based question.

[@londonken]

You emtnioning that Contrast effects the brightness, jogged my memory. Well done

[@danjensen9425]

Great video. Different screens was a good idea to represent examples of what we use . I got into astrophotography 3 years ago and now having my images printed. Now I know how best to get them printed without them coming back too dark or loss of color , contrast and just not even close. Awesome

Thank you for this preview. I've been looking into calibrating my two monitors. This review/test/preview had me sold. Thank you so much. :)

[@christiangonzales7429]

I followed the instructions and something weird happened. My screen looks better BEFORE calibration then it did after. After calibration, it has a weird yellow tint over everything. Did I do something wrong?

[@chefmike8888]

Was the night mode on during calibration? Also try using DisplayCal software over the default one used here.

[@christiangonzales7429]

@@chefmike8888 No night mode. I've never used DisplayCal before.

Thanks for the info. I have a two question to ask. Does the color of your wall affect the calibration of your monitor. I have a benq 3200u 4k monitor what's the best calibrator I can get.

[@StrohhutDLuffy]

Whatever I try, my monitor looks too yellow. Simple b/w photos are yellow. Does somebody know whats the problem?

[@mikehartman7708]

ROOKIE Q: How do I adjust my screen brightness/contrast during calibration? The application takes up the whole screen and I had no access to controls. OPted to Cancel, adjust brightness, then start again until I found a Brightness level.

I calibrated my laptop but i want like to switch between rec709 and adobergb and i dont even know what color gamut i got after calibration

[@MarceloArend]

Is it possible to carry out this calibration process on an external monitor such as FEELWORLD Daylight? How do I export the tweak as a LUT?

[@YehudiNimol]

I have a 2nd monitor and I want to color-match it with my other monitor, but the thing is I tampered with my RGB on it to make it look nicer. Would calibrating it with the default settings and creating a color profile do the job or would the settings on the different models make too noticable of a difference?

[@carolinecaroline2264]

Does anyone know? Can you use this to calibrate a drawing tablet HUION Kamvas Pro 24 4K ?

[@Lillyunn]

Fantastic example using three monitors at once.

[@grahambrown5874]

Very helpful presentation. It gave me confidence i did my calibration correctly.

[@hexise]

Thanks for your video. Where did the calibrated profile saving to? Do you need to open the Spyder app every time after calibration? Is the Spyder app running in background which is mapping the colors with your monitor? Thanks.

[@goulashigabor]

would like to know also before I purchase?

[@fastbacktina]

Thanks so much for this video, it was very helpful.

[@FurryPawLarry]

Very helpful video!

[@nikolayyordanov380]

I have used three different calibrators, one of them is the SpyderX and I can say that this particular model is a complete waste of money. The only consistent thing he can achieve is a green tint. The other two with which I have not had similar problems are Spyder 3 and Xrite Display pro . The spyder 3 isn't supported anymore, that's why I bought the X after a few days I just returned it and bought the Xrite with which everything is also fine.

[@etop2650]

Can you use it to calibrate a projector too?

[@theTechNotice]

I'm pretty certain that's not for projectors.

[@TheDigital]

The Elite version can

[@Vegasmethod]

Have you had the chance to use this on your BenQ PD3200U? If so, did it give you a 100% sRGB when it calibrated it? I’m wondering if I need to update to this version or not. My spyder 5 doesn’t give me 100 sRGB when I calibrate the PD2700U. Thanks in advance for your help.

[@theTechNotice]

I haven't done my PD3200U yet :)

[@Vegasmethod]

@@theTechNotice Maybe on a future video? Lol... I ended up returning my PD2700U and ordering another to see if the second unit has the same problem.

[@samertaraben3494]

awesome mate

After over twenty years of using Datacolor products I will never by another product from them.

[@jasonlindquistmedia]

ill get Xrite one it works with NInja V.

Thank you very much!

hello..I need a new PC system for video editing with Da Vinci Software ...my budget is around $2000 ..but I want a really good Video card please ..What would you suggest me ???

[@theTechNotice]

Check out my workstation build :)

[@punnu5997]

he just made a video on mac killer PC, all you have to do is go with a 3900x/3950x with 2070 super or 2080. what ever your budget allows. resolve heavily relies on CPU cores while playing back h.265 footage because the codec is not GPU friendly yet, so if you are shooting a lot of drone footage/ 10bit h.265 getting the greatest graphics card also wont help much. but if you work with pro-res or raw video footage then, you will be just fine with a 12 core and a 2060 also. because that is very easy to edit and export.

[@ardasugar]

Fantastic video mate. Can I do my TV with this device as well?

[@theTechNotice]

Not really unless you connect the Tav to your pc that can load the profile to it.

[@Bioguy5]

I was going back and fourth wondering why the uncalibrated colors look better than the calibrated colors, then I realized my shit's uncalibrated too.

[@malomobilny]

Спасибо! Было интересно.

[@LightLMAO]

Hi friend

[@LightLMAO]

So umm... I subscribe😏😏😏😏😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️

[@MrMkariniot]

Brightness must be 120 not 200

[@baronbarbaron]

The Spyder X is complete waist of money. I bought it because the good results from my Spyder 2 in the past. But compared to the 2, the x is just a garbage. DO NOT BUY IT ! It makes all dyplays GREEN tinted, no matter what backlight ot target color temperature you choose, every time the result is useless !

[@goulashigabor]

the colorimeter is the BEST BUDGET unit you can get, the software is garbage use anothe cal software.
