Spyder5 setup calibration question

[Adventurechic]

I have recently purchased the spyder5 after my color Monki stopped working. I was reading through your articles about setting up. The new setting ( I downloaded the software yesterday) will not let you adjust to 80, as it recommends to adjust or not adjust. Then sets up at 120, which you say is stadium bright. What do you recommend?

Is it the Spyder5Pro?

[Adventurechic]

yes

It sounds like it's doing everything right.  Are you following my instructions here?  https://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_S5P_mac.html

The "Target" of 120 is not important.

What's important is the "Current" number.  What does yours say?

[Guest I have the opposite prob]

I don't have the adjust/do not adjust options/

Mine wants me to choose a brightness .. do I go with 80? 

Thanks

80 is a fair starting point, yes.
