Beware. - Don't buy this if you hope to run it under Windows 10. The software is old and hasn't been updated to include the latest versions of W10. There is no installation disk and you have to download the software from Datacolor's website. A bit of a faff but no big deal as the software installs fairly quickly. However, when you try to run the program you cannot find the SpyderX sensor as there is nothing in the preferred list. Clicking 'Next' reveals that the sensor is not detected and that's your lot. I had a similar problem with Colormunki Smile which stopped working after the latest updates to Windows 10 took place. I assume the developers haven't bothered keeping up with new software demands. It says quite clearly in the Specs on the desertcart display page that the SpyderX is compatible with Windows 10 32/64 bit. But it simply isn't. Returned to desertcart for refund. Hugely disappointing. Review: Does not work with Windows 10 - and poor customer support - I had high hopes for this. I followed the instructions, which were very straightforward, and stood back to view the final results - with horror. Everything had a pink tint. I re-did it several times, always with the same ghastly outcome. Contact their support service, gave them all the details including an error message. They seemed familiar with this issue, and stated very clearly it was an issue with Windows 10, and not their device or software. They re-iterated this several times, and pinpointed it down to a specific Windows update. I was given very clear instructions, which I followed to the letter, and which made no difference whatsoever. After being given essentially the same advice by 3 different technical support people, a 4th person then seemed to completely misinterpret everything and gave me a list of instructions for how to fix a flicker when you plug things into the USB device. After wasting hours trying and re-trying their unsuccessful remedies, I gave up and sent it back for a refund. Given how many positive reviews there are, I believe this is probably a good piece of kit. BUT it clearly has problem with Windows 10 that they do not know how to fix. Update: another member of their customer support team contacted me with yet another supposed fix, which doubtlessly would not have worked. I explained that I had given up and sent the device back for a refund. A received a rather defensive and unnecessary reply stating again that the problem was with microsoft, and that "99%" of users who experienced this problem were able to get the device to function using one of their workarounds. The message finished by saying there were still two possible solutions: a) "revert to the previous Windows 10 Build or b) wait until Microsoft releases a fix". Not sure if these were intended to be serious suggestions, or just an attempt to have the last word. Whichever, I have reduced my rating to one star as a result. ## Features - The fastest Spyder: The calibration of monitors is much faster than with its previous advantage - The most precise Spyder: A newly developed colour sensor with optical lens ensures greatly improved colour accuracy in monitors, pristine screen colours, more details in the shadow areas as well as a pr chisser white balance. - The most user-friendly spyder: The SpyderX is so intuitive that you don't have to be a colour expert to achieve pristine colours on your display.

If you need help or have additional questions, please contact our support team at: https://s upport.datacolor .com/submitticket (remove the blanc’s from the link to make it working) This is the fastest way to answer your questions. Your Datacolor Team **Q: Does this work if you use your tv as a monitor for your pc?** A: I don't see why people say it won't work when this produces a colour calibration profile applied by your operating system (your PC) so it doesn't matter whether your monitor is a monitor or a TV. The only thing that depends on the display device is how accurate you can make the picture, as you first calibrate as much as possible with the display's settings, and then fine-tune it with a colour profile generated by the software. Just don't forget to set your TV to Full RGB mode (0-255) or if you can't - make sure your PC is aware the TV is on limited mode and it is outputting the appropriate signal to it. **Q: will this work with MacOS Catalina** A: Hi Paul, the SpyderX Pro & SpyderX Elite do work with macOS 10.15 Catalina. If you need help or have additional questions, please contact our support team at: https://support.datacolor.com/submitticket This is the fastest way to answer your questions. Your Datacolor Team **Q: Will it work without internet connection** A: You will have to download files to an internet connected computer and transfer them to your non internet computer. It will then work fine. I have done this as my photography computer is not connected to the internet. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Doesn't work under Windows 10.

Avoid this product. *by A***7 on 6 November 2021* Having spent a weekend trying to troubleshoot this gadget I have come to the conclusion that this toy is suitable for users with ONE monitor. If like me you have TWO then you will run into issues - namely the monitor temperatures do not match. This is despite both monitors being the same make and model and being connected directly to the same GPU. Having written to Datacolor I was told if I wanted the monitors to MATCH one should invest in the SpyderX Elite and not the SpyderX Pro and only expect a near match. Is that good enough? No, not really. I would expect a perfect match, not a slight temperature change to the monitors. I responded and received a reply from this tech support senior asking me to provided a long list of data for them to evaluate. This will take time, but I will provide them with this. I expect them to fob me off saying my hardware is old and there is nothing wrong with the SpyderX Pro. We will see. Ultimately, my recommendations are only single monitor users should buy this. Why? Because you will not be ANY wiser if the results given are accurate or not. Multiple monitor users - beware. Oh, yes, you could try using the DisplayCAL software with this device. Getting it going is pretty hard. In my case it was impossible to the point I gave up and when I tried to uninstall it my only option was to restore my Win10 to a previous point as it left so much residual junk I couldn't reuse the SpyderX Pro software from Datacolor. Again, beware if you use DisplayCAL. ## Frequently Bought Together - Datacolor Spyder X Pro – Monitor Calibrator. Color Calibration Tool for Monitor Display.
