in my testing, I found that the SpyderX is able to perform a full calibration in approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds. The time you spend calibrating your monitor could be time spent doing some work and for that reason, the speed of the SpyderX is clearly an advantage. For many people, time is valuable and in most instances, any product that can produce results in a shorter period of time is generally a better product. It's true that most calibrators you buy today tend to take a good amount of time to complete full calibration. Speed is something that Datacolor has really promoted quite heavily about the new SpyderX. Based on that, the usability factors are already much better with the SpyderX. the i1 Studio was just a little bit of a pain to use in comparison because it requires you to use a soft, weighted case in order to attach it to your monitor. This is very useful when you're trying to align the calibrator to your monitor and ensure that it's pressed up against the screen properly. One of the things I really like about the SpyderX is the fact that the "cap" to the lens also acts as a counterweight. Based on my use I found the SpyderX to be very easy and straight forward to use far more so than the i1 Studio. I'm also led to believe that this new lens design system has allowed Datacolor to increase performance by a significant degree hence the bold new claims about the calibrators speed and accuracy.Īside from the lens, there are no significant changes when it comes to the design and I don't think this is a bad thing. Personally, I think this will probably make it easier to clean and can prevent any dust or debris getting into some of the crucial sections.
The biggest physical change between the two calibrators is that the SpyderX now uses a lens based system. The overall shape and design is almost identical to the Spyder5Pro.
Build and DesignĪs with most Datacolor calibrators, the SpyderX isn't very different in terms of design. More recently I've started to use the new SpyderX PRO and aside from the color, I'm actually quite impressed. I did eventually move onto to using the X-Rite i1 Studio which I think is absolutely brilliant. The last Datacolor calibrator that I used was the Spyder4PRO and for that most part, it was actually pretty good.
