Ct80 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Hi, I’ve been using my spyder for a few years with no issues at all. I’ve recently had a HP ENVY 17-cg0003na Touchscreen Laptop. I have used my spyder but it looks awful. Am I doing something wrong?
Damien Symonds Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Hi @Ct80, which model Spyder do you have? How old is it, exactly?
Ct80 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Hi it’s spyder 4, not sure how long I’ve had it. Edited November 10, 2020 by Ct80
Damien Symonds Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Yeah, sorry. Your Spyder4 is just too old for the modern screen technology, especially the touchscreen technology. Time for a new one Until you can afford a new one, plug an external desktop monitor into your laptop and calibrate it and edit on it.

Ct80 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Posted November 10, 2020 Can I ask how I remove the settings & return my screen to its normal settings please?
Damien Symonds Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 If you go to the "Color Management" control panel, you should be able to remove the Spyder profile there. Let me know if you have any trouble.
Ct80 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Posted November 10, 2020 Thank you. I’ve never removed it before so a little unsure.
Ct80 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Yes I’ve removed it but can’t edit on another screen as it’s not working. I’ll have to edit without calibration for now ( not ideal I know ) can I ask if I should make any other adjustments or should I adjust the brightness? It’s on 90

The screen itself? Or the Spyder? 1 hour ago, Ct80 said: can I ask if I should make any other adjustments or should I adjust the brightness? It’s on 90 Well, you should loosely adjust the brightness so that it's a close match to your prints.

Damien Symonds Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Oh crap. Is it too late to change your order? https://www.facebook.com/groups/askdamien/permalink/3495497333843775
Ct80 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Yes. It said the spyder x pro isn’t bad but the rite is better. Have I ordered wrong as it’s already gone through
