Gaming Monitor Color Calibration

The monitor is excellent - color accuracy (Adobe RGB), uniformity, etc... probably the best manufacturer of monitors with hardware calibration (built-in LUT)... with second place to BenQ. I just wish hardware calibration monitors were less expensive (sad face)!

Good quality product Best monitor color calibration tool I love it...

I’ve been using this monitor for color grading, and it has been superb. The colors look great and and the self calibration is a nice feature. Overall, I’m impressed and recommend it.

Beautiful monitor! Has all needed color spaces for colorist and fits great in a small studio. For easier calibration I recommend downloading LG calibration studio from official website.

I'm always reluctant to purchase the first production run of a new product, but I've been using SW240 for a couple of weeks -- enough time to report that it is a first class monitor with accurate and repeatable results. No dead/stuck pixels; uniform brightness and sharpness. Each monitor is factory-measured for gray-scale and color deviation from standard RGB profiles. In my cse the deviation was imperceptible (delta-E 1). This was borne out by custom calibration/verification using (provided) calibration software that writes (flashes) results into the monitors LUT for storage. Note that used must provide their own colorimeter-puck for custom calibration. On the down side, the documentation could be better; and Technical Support staff could be a bit more available, and more knowledgeable. While the monitors OSD menus are quite comprehensive (more than a dozen color profiles), they somewhat cumbersome. On balance, a very good wide-gamut monitor with built-in LUTs, at a very good price (made even better by the included $100 monitor hood - see separate review).

Solid monitor! As suspected, color needed only tiny amount of calibration out of the box for photo editing.

Great background. The B&H color reference is very close to the real color, of course, you have to pay attention to your monitor calibration. In fact B&H reference shall be better than the SAVAGE posted on its website. But definitely I love this purple thing.

I don't work with video content or photo editing but I was tired of dealing with multiple monitor setups that weren't even close to being color matched. The SpyderX fixes it as best as it can, depending on your monitor's color capabilities. It's going to make cheap monitors look mediocre at best, and top-of-the-line monitors look excellent. Your end video/photo projects and your eyesight will thank you for your calibration. Most people don't realize how too bright their monitors really are. Each monitor's calibration took under 5 minutes on my Win10 desktop. Well worth it's price, even better when it's on sale.

You can see the difference in before and after at the end of calibration. For me, the after has always been better. Suprisingly, the monitor color shifts in less than a months time. Something I did not know prior to using the Spyder. Glad I bought it.

As a film editor/colorist, color accuracy is extremely important to help you move forward with confidence when delivering a final product. I consistently calibrate my monitors weekly and dangling a probe over the monitor can get annoying. For me, having a monitor that calibrates itself, while storying the calibration to the monitor and not the operating system, streamlined my workflow by saving time. It means I can move this monitor to any computer, like my remote setup when on location, and know the color calibration will be consistent across all platforms. I have been using Flanders Scientific monitors for years, but as a Mac user, that means I needed a PC laptop to calibrate the monitor and a video I/o device to output SDI. As a result, I really started using it less because of the inconvenience. Plus, most of the content I create is for web and social media platforms which means 99% of the content is being viewed on a computer or smartphone. I wanted to be working on content in an atmosphere that the end user would be viewing in. There are other monitors at this price point that can seem more enticing. The ASUS PA32DC was similar in price and the spec sheet seemed to be better by comparison. But doing research between Eizo and ASUS shows the biggest difference was reliability and customer service. Eizo has received glowing reviews in the categories that matter most at the end of the day. While ASUS offers an OLED display, I am already using a LG C series OLED tv which is twice the size, half the price, and amazing color accuracy once calibrated. I have included photos that showcase the size comparison to the Flanders, the calibration probe activating, the color profile options and how well thought out the packaging is by including carrying handles for delivery. I will circle back to this review after a couple years of using the monitor to update everyone on the long term performance.
