Default Monitor Calibration
What is the difference between the Datacolor Spyder 3 Express, Display Calibration Hardware & Software for Professional Photographers Datacolor Spyder 3 Pro Display Calibration Hardware & Software for Professional Photographers and Studios, English.

There is not a huge difference in price and the descriptions are so similar...

Looking at their comparison chart, I think they have forgotten to change the Spyder2 Express to Spyder3 Express, I don't think it is anything that I would notice myself or know what/how to use it.

The most important difference is that Express is single monitor only, whereas Pro will manage multiple monitors.

I figured it out - the pro also measures ambient light.

Pssssst....... you can download the PRO version software from Spyder's web site and purchase the Spyder 2 Express then install the PRO software and have all the benefits of the Spyder 2 PRO since the Express and PRO version use the exact same hardware for like $65.00 from amazon.

That's what I did. LOL
