Datacolor Offer for Spyder 5 Elite

[msn]

I think my trusty old Sypder3 is still working fine, but with this offer, I could upgrade to the Spyder5Elite for $139.

Does the Spyder5Elite offer significant enough advantages over the older technology that I should take advantage of the offer while my Spyder3 is still doing its job? I know the Spider3 will eventually fail, but I would rather spend that money on prints and kick the purchase of a new calibrator down the road if I can reasonably do so.

Thanks,

You'll never get the Spyder5 so cheap.  I beg you to consider it.

How new/old is your screen?

My screen is only three or four years old. I bought it based on your recommendations I found on your website. It's the NEC MultiSync EA 234WMi, an IPS screen.

That was not the response I expected, Damien. Now I will seriously consider getting the new calibrator. Thanks!

You really should.  Your Spyder3 could fall over any day now (of course, it might also last another two years, but that's a gamble I, personally, would not take.)

Alright, I'm in.   It does seem like a good deal. Thanks, Damien!
