Spyder or i1Display PRO haven't equipped with any meter correction table for WRGB OLED from their factory, i1Display PRO has on OLED table X-Rite used a Sony PVM-2541 RGB OLED Monitor to create that OLED spectral correction for i1Display PRO which can be useful when you will measure the Sony or FSI (Flanders Scientific Inc.) RGB OLED Broadcasting Monitors and not a consumer LG WRGB OLED or the following brands which are using LG's WRGB OLED panel also: Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Loewe, Philips, Skyworth, Metz, Grundig, Vestel, Arçelik and Bang & Olufsen.ġ) Keep Spyder but get a spectrophotometer (like i1PRO) to create unique meter correction table for that LG B7 or for any other display you may have, using LightSpace DPS or HCFR (both free available software).Ģ) Sell the Spyder 5 and get the X-Rite i1Display PRO Colorimeter.and to improve it's color accuracy, you can use the HCFR's LG B7 spectral correction tabled its been added by current developer (Zoyd) to HCFR.
You can use it with HCFR or LightSpace DPS which you can download/use for free (and generally all other paid calibration solutions.) If you need to invest money to a better instrument which provides better performance and has consumer-friendly price also it's better to look for i1Display PRO. The last chart is dE plot, Blue line is de2000 while Green line is dE1976 of the measurements. (CalMAN don't support it also)Īs you can see from the following picture (the crosses away from the REC.709 triangle of the CIE Chart are bad/failed readings) from a test Steve Shaw performed (CEO of LightIllusion) show the poor performance of Spyder 4/5 meters where they fail to read properly dark colors. LightSpace and CalMAN also are not recommending to use Spyder meters for accurate calibration work. Here you can see Tom's Huffman (ChromaPure) test: New Spyder 5 vs. You can fix the color accuracy issue if you create a 4-color matrix meter correction table using a software that supports Spyder 5 like HCFR/LightSpaceDPS (not Spyder software) using a spectrophotometer, like i1PRO1/2.
When you buy a new Spyder 5 meter, it's color accuracy is like playing a lottery, so even new meters have large unit-to-unit differences to the measurements, this is why they are not recommended from calibration software companies. Spyder 5 is not a good meter for any kind of serious color measurement.
