5/30/2023 0 Comments Using displaycal spyder5![]() ![]() Is it worth buying Spyder5 if it works so badly? "Your meter/software may not be profiled correctly for the display type you're using." So, it keeps not understanded isse: Somehow spyder is not compatible to my laptop screen (technology). I can rotate it to each position - it never happens that a sensor calibrated image (reddish) looks grey. Of course results are very dependent on viewing angle. So it seem that my Laptop screen is so strange that calibration fails (for some reason). Than I let the spyder look to my Laptop - same result as above. So it is not a installation/driver/spyder - issue. Than I connect Spyder to my laptop - same result. Take a second laptop and the results seems to be ok (so no reddish for 100% at each channel). Your meter/software may not be profiled correctly for the display type you're using. Your display could have a broken CMS (colour management system) - this is actually very common. You could be adjusting the display incorrectly. You could be using the software incorrectly. Then I start continous measurement and adjust the image below the Spyder as described above. As I have no configuration file I skip it. So what I did: Say new, select manual DVD and Spyder3 instead of simulation. So there is something wrong how I use Software - but there aren't so many things to adjust ?!? I mean not a "warm white" but a real rose. I achieve to get R G and B to same 100% level - but surprise - the image I created looks reddish. I am doing the DVD manuell way and give the Spyder an Image created by Irfanview. ![]() Used a different Colorimeter from a friend, as Spyder3. I'll try to organice a second colorimeter and will repeat that. I used the same Spyder with Displa圜al, found the images are on the warm side, but the "white" was far away from being as reddish as if I try to get a neutral point here. Not sure how installation of Datacolor's software, Displa圜al and HCFR and drivers interfere. The other thing that comes to my mind is, that Spyder has to be loaded with some driver/init data which might fail. Software can't does spyder reads data from own (calibrated) laptop monitor or from external TV. The only what might happen is (unlikely), that the PC knows it does some calibration and think it has to take this into account receiving data from Spyder. Īs I understand this, a calibration on Laptop's screen (which affects Laptop only) can not have an effect to the TV (which is not connected with laptop). No, that's ok, you can't see it from distance. I don't know if the issue is (a) due to drift or (b) the meter not being overly accurate to begin with, or (c) both, or (d) an issue with the software or how you're using it. These products are in use for more than 10 years and are in harder environments. We use color sensor chips in our products and never heard the Bayer pattern would change so rapidly. Rather strange it should change so rapidly and fast. I just found the date on package, 03/2016 - so just 3,5 years old. I don't know what, if anything, you're doing wrong. How these drift is anyone's guess - they do not drift in the same manner. Last edited by star on Sun 4:39 pm edited 1 time in totalĥ years is pretty old. So, to summarize: You can't see that I am doing something wrong? That colorimeter gets some faked data? If you have some experience - would it be typical that red fades and blue gets stronger.[ I can imagine a slight drift over the time, but such a massive one -so that it is visible? Strange. It is from 03/2016 - so 3,5 years and has been already in its original package. Support our site by using our affiliate links. How old is your Spyder5? How was it stored? If it's old it may also have drifted. Every Spyder meter before the newest SpyderX is not recommended as many tend to not be very accurate. Thanks, and especially for the developer and community for this great tool. In setup is a calibration of Colorimeter mentioned, but don't know how to do and where to get data from.Īnd, second issue: It seems that gamma is extremly low, can this be true? Something else that I can take as reference to check the colorimeter? ![]() Is my colorimeter damaged? What chances I do have to debug this. But - suprise - the image at TV is reddish. So I adjusted the 90% as example to be neutral. Although I think it is not to far away from beeing neutral I know that eye is not a good instrument for color. ![]() Spyder tells me it is far to blue and to less red. I did the initial reference measure (see picture). Sat-Receiver that can play images with grey scale images 0.100%). HCFR running at a Windows Laptop with an "Spyder 5" and latest HCFR Software. I did the calibration with following setup: ![]()
