    Have any of you tried the Spyder3Express?

    http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3express.php

    I'm not impressed by the results, I've tried 2 different laptop screens and an external monitor, all gives a blue-like screen which doesn't look good at all, some colors on the laptops did improve a little, but the white color is not white anymore, it has a blue-like color to it, which is definately not correct. As far as I can see I have no options to adjust anything manually, I think I will return the product :mad:

    I have the Spyder2Express (using it with the Pro software though) and I love the results. I recalibrate probably 3 times a year just for s&g's but I don't have to, once is enough. The express software is probably your limitation, not the device.

    Yeah, I returned the Express, and will buy the Pro or Elite version as soon as I get my money back.
