Calibrate X Box Controller Win 10

I have used a Huey previously to calibrate my monitor, which is no longer viable with Win 10. So I needed a new solution. Datacolor Spyder X was so simple to use, and the software walks you through the process very easily. It also has a decent box to store it in! (No plastic bubble pack!)

I can calibrate 2 monitors from scratch in under 10 minutes. I will be keeping up with calibration better now!

Small and very lightweight. Easy to calibrate, but sometimes have to remove battery to re-calibrate. The thin controller that goes with is brilliant. And on/off switch would help. It’s tricky to figure out to push the battery to the side.

I have bought 2 other brands and they did not preform well. This works very well in Win 10 with my 4 monitors.

Out of the box, the lens was back-focusing. I had to calibrate to -12 to get it to focus sharply. Once the lens started focusing properly, I was blown away by the image quality. Even at f 1.8 the lens is sharp. Contrast is a little low wide open, just a bit of clarity and a smidgen of sharpening is all that I need to get images to look superb. At f 2.0 and onward, the images are tack sharp with good micro contrast, great colors, and low distortion. I'm a huge fan of this lens. Its only draw back is that it does not feel like a legacy lens, a lens that will be with you for decades. I hope I can get at least 15 years from this guy.

What a super product, worked great right out of the box. only thing I'm not crazy about is that you have to calibrate the compass ever time you turn it on, it's no big deal it's just you have to explain to the people around you why your spinning your camera around in the air. It's with in 2 feet or so of your exact location for the money you can't beet it.

This monitor is quite good, especially for the price. It's missing power delivery and a USB hub, but again not an issue for the price. Solid stand and minimal bezel. Good color and sharpness. An important note for Mac users: By default, the OS will check the High Dynamic Range box in the Display preferences. Be sure to UNcheck that box, otherwise most of the on-monitor controls will be locked out and the color will look bad and severally oversaturated. It is impossible to calibrate unless you un-check HDR. With HDR unchecked and the Picture mode (on-monitor controls) this monitor will run in DCI-P3 mode and calibrate very nicely. (Calibrated with x-rite i1 display pro and basICColor display 6)

Color calibrated out of the box! After a few days of use I used my Xrite ColorMunki to calibrate it in User Mode and and got essentially the same values. Really a bargain for $300.

It took me less than an hour from the time I opened the box to download the software to calibrate the display on my laptop. I did a second laptop even faster. So far, no issues or problems.

I loaded this on a new Win 10 Laptop because I did not want to rent software. It loaded fine and runs with no problems.
