Thanks for that. Looks like Spyder leads the pack.

Any particular reason you like X-Rite?

Most of the guys I shoot with use the X-Rite Eye-One Display 2 and said I should calibrate my monitor since I seem to be getting a little more serious about my photography. They all have a lot more experience than I do with this sort of thing so I went with their recommendation.

I recently got a Spyder3 Elite. It seems to work for both of my monitors (laptop with an external monitor.)
