New Spyder X2 unleashes your reach to new color horizons for photos and videos, allowing for precision monitor color calibration throughout an expansive range of brightness levels.

We’ve remastered our Spyder X software and expanded our sensor capabilities to deliver our most versatile monitor color calibration tool to date.

How to Determine Your Monitor’s cd/m² or NITs

The brightness capability of your monitor screen (expressed as cd/m² or NITs) can usually be found on its packaging box or the manufacturer’s website. The following link may also be helpful.

Includes These Great Features

Advanced Display Mapping & Analysis

Get a better understanding of the color, brightness, contrast, gamut, tone response and white point of your monitors. You can also check screen brightness, color uniformity, and display color accuracy.

Side-by-side Multiple Computer/Display Calibration

Studio Match provides simultaneous side-by-side calibration for multiple computers/displays. Ensures consistent and accurate color reproduction across multiple connected monitors with most monitor types.

Video and Cinema Targets

Unlimited Calibration Settings

Starting with industry-standard presets, you can customize settings to meet all your calibration needs, including fully customizable gamma curves, white point, and brightness settings.

Soft Proofing

Allows you to simulate other displays and devices on your calibrated screen. For printers, you can see how prints will look for a specific printer model, paper and ink, and upload ICC printer profiles.

Room Light Monitoring

An integrated ambient light sensor measures your room light throughout the day allowing you to adjust your display brightness and contrast to ideal levels. The software can either warn you to recalibrate or do it automatically using custom profiles based on light level.

How it works

Display calibration optimizes your monitor’s color performance and accuracy for your workflow (photography, videography, etc.). This quick and easy process measures, evaluates and corrects your monitor display for an accurate view into your digital world.

Spyder monitor calibrators create an ICC display profile that is used by the video card and color managed software in your computer’s operating system. A calibrated display enables your computer to show a true color representation of your image file within your editing software so you can make accurate editing decision to create the look you want.

Spyder X2 makes calibration accurate and easy, helping you each step of the way.

Step One

Download, install and launch the Spyder software. You’ll be prompted to answer a few questions about your display and workflow which will be saved for future calibrations.

Step Two

Place the Spyder device on your display within the outline and let the Spyder software go to work. It will take a series of measurements to build the ICC profile and help you adjust your display’s brightness.

Step Three

When the measurements are completed, remove the sensor from your display and save the profile which remains housed in your computer to be used for this monitor moving forward. You can always simply delete the profile to return to your monitor’s factory default settings.
