Calibrating my monitor on Linux

So I take it that the munki (whether that is the equivalent of the sl, I’d have to check) is not as advanced as the display.

All of them are called Display, but as you can see there’s the “regular”, Pro and Plus. Regular = Colormunki. Pro and Plus have better hardware.

@geo909

Does ambient light sensor makes a big difference?

DisplayCAL doesn’t make any use of it. The idea is that the monitor’s brightness can be automatically adjusted based on ambient light.

Thanks a lot. I’ll contact calibrite to inquire about the sl hardware and I’ll proceed depending on that.

Might be some nuggets here I took a quick look. Just got this in my email news feed today…

Thanks for the info - too late for me - already have the 5 but will re consider at some point in the future.

The old Spyders till 5 i think have no plastic filters but organic ones. And these are sensitiv to light, in special sun light, and air humidity. I have already secreted several Pantone Hueys and Spyder and fear my Spyder 5 could now have differences due to its age. Even if this is better protected.

At the next purchase I will also invest a little more money for a better device.
