A: There are two versions of the SpyderX: Pro and Elite. The hardware is identical, the difference is the software.

The Elite includes all those features plus expert calibration settings, the ability to match multiple displays, video and cinema calibration targets, and calibration for projectors and soft-proofing for printers.

Q: 9. Will this product work on a Samsung 27in. curved monitor?

A: Yes, the Datacolor SpyderX Pro Colorimeter (B&H# DASXP100) may be used to calibrate curved monitors. As with using any colorimeter with any type of screen, the key is to prevent ambient light from getting into the sensor. We'd recommend turning off the lights in the room and closing any blinds prior to beginning the actual calibration procedure. It is not necessary to cover the monitor (with the colorimeter positioned appropriately on it) during calibration with a cloth or cover to prevent light from entering, but it could be a good idea if taking measures to limit ambient light is not possible or not especially effective.

Q: 10. Will the Datacolor SpyderX Pro Colorimeter work with the Dell XPS 9560 4k?

A: Yes, the Datacolor SpyderX Pro Colorimeter would be compatible with the Dell XPS 9560 4K.
