Truth Designs Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I have a brand new Dell XPS 15. I also have a new external monitor. I've calibrated them both using my Spyder 3 and they couldn't look more different if they tried. Ive done a quick Google search and see that I may have no hope of them matching because they're completely different screen types. The laptop has an Ultrasharp 4K screen and the monitor is just a $350 BenQ LCD 27" Gaming Monitor. The only reason I bought the monitor is because my old computer was a 17" and the 15.6" feels small to me. But if the monitor is going to give me more grief than it's worth, I'll just scrap it and get used to the smaller laptop screen! Whats your advice?

Damien Symonds Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 A newer/better calibrator will do a better job. The Spyder 3 is very old now, the technology has improved significantly. Which Spyder3 is it? Express, Pro, or Elite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely sounds like it may be time for an upgrade if it's giving you issues. The Express series from Spyder is pretty limited in it's functionality (not as bad as the horrid ColorMunki Smile). Here are Damien's current recommendations: http://www.damiensymonds.net/what2buy_cal.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
