So I was temped to return it but decided to just give it a try since I had already waited two weeks and the important parts appeared to be okay. It worked and I would recommend it .....just not happy with Amazon sending me a used product. !( Yes I realize that has nothing to do with the product)

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024

Model: SXE200Verified Purchase

I've owned my Datacolor Spyder X2 Elite for several months, and I have been able to calibrate my monitors are grand total of a single time. Either some sort of fatal error pops up at the beginning of calibration, or the software asks me to choose which color calibration tool I'm using (Datacolor Spyder X2 Elite) and claims I haven't chosen anything when I have tried choosing my Spyder over and over and over again. The drop down menu resets each time to "<none>" thus making calibration impossible. It's time to ditch this company, I'm sorry to say.

Silly that a $200 piece of hardware needs a software key...

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023

Model: SXE100Verified Purchase

It does what a color meter should and does it well. I especially like that I can leave it on my desk and let it auto adjust throughout changing lighting conditions; that's a really welcome innoavtion for this kind of product (don't know when it happened, but when I was in art school, color calibrators didn't do that and I always thought they should be able to; it was always a one-and-done thing and if you were doing very sensitive color work, you did it in a dark room with no ambient light.

Anyway... The software is lacking in usability. It works, but it's slow and a little cumbersome. It was frustrating for me to go through and manually calibrate each monitor, thinking that the calibrations would be used to sync all three, but just make adjustments, only to have to entirely redo all the calibrations and then sync them. It's an example of somewhere they could be a little more clear about what does what. Not a big deal, but it did eat an entire afternoon to get comfortable with it--the actual calibration process is fairly slow.

My biggest gripe is that fact that I need a software key for when I just bought what is essentially a $200 **hardware** key. If I didn't own your expensive device, I wouldn't even need this software... what the hell? This is the kind of thing that is usually done to prevent people from buying and selling the product as used, but there's no other verification, other than to link it to an email, but if that's already been done...? All you have to do is tell the person you sell it to what the key is. If they forget, they have to go to you rather than Spyder, but whatever. I don't think that's Spyder's intention, necessarily (please don't get any ideas!), but rather just some kind of delusion from the software engineer. It's still completely unnecessary and you may not think it matters, but it caused me problems.

Yeah, they include one in the box, but you have to link it to an email. And after a year of forgetting the key was in the box, the box got recycled in a cleaning phase. But blessed be! The good lords at Spyder have blessed me with an alternative: I can send a request to have the key that was registered to my email sent to my email! Or can I...

It was Friday night when I first requested my activation key. They tell me my key has been sent right away! Not in my inbox. Not in spam. Not in any of Google's auto categories. Wait until Saturday night, still no sign of the email, so I request it again. Again, I look and cannot find it. I must wait. And wait is what I do. Sunday morning, no sign. I send the request again. And again 2 more times that day. No answer. They must have a human manually verify these requests, I ponder. It is the weekend; maybe I'll have better luck Monday. Monday morning. Request sent. No response. All day I wait and all night. 10 PM monday night. I try to request the key One. More. Time. before ultimately giving up. 2 seconds later, the key is in my inbox.

What the hell. Please remove the need for an activation key. It is absolutely silly.

I have 3 x 32" 1440p monitor on my simracing rig that i couldn't setup correctly, whatever I tried, no meter how many hours I fiddled with the Rgb settings, the colors would just never match perfectly between the 3 monitors.
I thought this gizmo was expansive and I was skeptical that it would do any better than my eyes could but I decided to give it a try anyways...
OMG.... Within 20 minutes , my 3 monitors were configured and the colors match PERFECTLY between the 3 screens.
The software provided is perfect for my needs, and will be perfect for 99.9% of SpyderX targeted user, I.e. average guy/gal. If you're a pro photographer or video editor , just buy a professional product and software and stop bashing this product & software, which works perfectly for the average Joe.

Just Like Essential Oils, Its Not Essential For Everyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2024

Model: SXU200Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Very good quality Spyder X2 Ultra from Datacolor made from very good materials.

Until I came across this I did not know monitor colour calibrators were a thing I thought of knew there must be something that does this, as even when I have had the same two brand of monitors using dual display the colours would sometimes look slightly different on one of the monitors.

I have to admit this is not a subject I know much about my knowledge of monitors consist of resolution and what ports are at the back of the monitor so I am a complete beginner. I am using this on a iMac

The setup is easy just a case of downloading the software, activating it using the serial number in the box and loading the software. Using the software is reasonably easy you will need to know some basic information on your monitor and how you adjust the brightness, connect the Spyder X2 Ultra directly to your device (Not into a USB hub) and position it on the center of your screen a marker will show up on your monitor where to put it which is a nice touch. The configuration section is where I feel this is where it would be good if you have an understanding of this subject but I will say it is not necessary I just selected the recommended options, there are a few other screens but you just follow the prompts and that is basically it.

The actual calibration takes about a minute it is very fast but it does require one interaction from you during the process or it has when ever I run it

I have to admit I was not sure how accurate or good this was at first as the first time I run it it reduced my brightness a lot BUT after looking at the recommendations it turned out my screen was over 50% brighter than the recommendation it did take me a while to adjust to the new brightness but now I can honestly say I have had my monitor way too bright for many years. The good thing is you do not have to accept the new settings you can change it back at any point.

Another feature I like a lot and I can not work out if my iMac always did this or just since the software was installed it runs always in the background is the brightness now adjusts automatically based on how much light is in the room. I am sure it did not do this before BUT I could be wrong.

I do a lot of photography and the ability to make sure my monitors have the same or very similar calibration/colour profiles I see now is a must to make sure I have accurate and true colours when editing/viewing the images. I think it is crazy that I have not been using something like this before BUT I will say I don’t feel this is a must have accessory at my level of photography I have been done a very good job before BIUT if you are a professional photography then I would say YES this is something you should definitely have.

Overall I am very happy with the Spyder X2 Ultra and I would definitely recommend it BUT it would depend on your photography/editing level.
