Spyder 3 - Adding New Dimension To Color Calibration
The Data color Spyder 3 Elite gives you fast and very accurate monitor calibration, perfect for the professional photographer and photography studio. The Spyder 3 Elite calibrates your monitor in just 5 minutes, combined with the power of the industry’s first seven-detector colors engine which is over 400% more sensitive to light that the Spyder2.Unique to the Spyder 3 Elite is the unlimited, user defined custom gamma and temperature settings, allowing you to take complete control over your colour profiles.
The StudioMatch feature allows you to calibrate multiple displays from a single source, which is an essential function in any photography studio. The Spyder3 Elite also has the ability to ‘softproof’ so you can accurately compare the before and after results.
The Spyder3 Elite Features include: Calibrate all flat panel LCD, TFT, CRT and laptop monitors, Industry first seven-detector color engine, 400% increase in light sensitivity over Spyder2, Create bespoke profiles to your own specifications, Built-in ambient light sensor, Spyder Proof function offers ‘before and after’ comparisons, Calibrate multiple displays to a single target &2 year warranty.
The Spyder3 Elite is also available as part of a money saving bundle called Spyder3 Studio SR. Spyder3Print is a unique print calibration solution that includes software and a Datacolor 1005 spectrocolorimeter to ensure accurate and consistent color. Spyder3Print enables photographers to output gallery-quality color or black and white prints and makes storing and creating profiles easy through its simple wizard-driven program. Additionally, its Precise Light Function enables users to adjust profile settings to optimize the print based on where and how it will be displayed by previewing and adjusting to different ambient lighting conditions.
Two variants of spyder are important viz. Spyder3Elite and Spyder3Studio The addition of Spyder3Pro and Spyder3Print completes the full line of color calibration solutions, and all four are now available for purchase worldwide. Each Spyder3 product addresses different needs to match the diversity of users who depend on accurate color, setting a new industry standard for display and printer calibration.The new Spyder3Pro and Spyder3Print solutions ensure color accuracy and efficiency for serious photographers and creative professionals.
It has an aperture several times larger than other devices for increased accuracy and performance. It is designed to deliver more precise control over white point and gamma, and has easy-to-use features including a new Display Assistant that stores and easily retrieves all user device-specific information on each display to save time during recalibration.
The Spyder 3 Express from Datacolor is their latest display calibrator aimed at people wanting an economic way of improving the accuracy of what's displayed on their monitor. A ttractive-looking and well-built device, weighing in at a light 50 grams and clothed in a mixture of piano black and black rubber with a small blue LED which flashes when the Spyder3 is active. Before you connect it though, you’ll need to install the included software, which is compatible with both Windows and MacOS and can run on specifications as lowly as those of a netbook. Installation is relatively painless, but does require you to both enter a serial and subsequently record another serial number that is generated by the program and required for future installations. so rush in and have a never before experience.

Should you skip the contrast adjustment when calibrating a computer's LCD monitor?
I calibrate the monitor for my computer once a month using the Eye-One Display 2 calibration device and software. I read recently that if you are calibrating an LCD you should skip the adjustment for contrast and worry only about the brightness adjustment prior to letting the device profile the monitor. Is this true? And if so, why? I appreciate any knowledge on the subject. Thanks!
The adjustments on your monitor don't really have anything to do with what their actual functions are. Those buttons are holdovers from the age of analog TV's with tubes in them. The "contrast" on most LCD screens do what the "brightness" used to do. The contrast on an LCD is fixed, you can't change the ratio of the darkest to lightest image (which is what "contrast" is supposed to mean) on a digital panel.
Here is an enlightening article that explains it more in detail:

The calibration tool makers probably already know this stuff (or they should know it, if they are in that industry), so they are probably dead on in their directions. Follow the instructions for your calibration tool to the letter. Make sure the calibration tool is meant to be used on your particular model of LCD screen. Not all calibration tools can be used on all LCD screens.
