Please can anyone recommend a colour profiling device for calibrating a flat-panel screen which is nicely supported with Linux (will be Ubuntu in my case) ? I googled this but didn’t find anything up-to-date.
I have my old Spyder2 hardware, perhaps there is some software that will work with this. However this is quite an old device now, perhaps the tech has moved on and I should buy a newer one? - any thoughts on this also welcome.
For the process you can use DisplayCAL formerly known as DispcalGUI or Gnome has something build-in. Both are frontends to agryllcms which runs in the back. I guess your Spyder2 will work out of the box. However I’m not sure about the device, because they used organic colorfilters which tend to “decay”?
I’ve a colorhug version 1, but I have a redshift problem on my Eizo 2436. Richard Hughes released colorhug2 lately. It is a open source display colorimeter.
I know that the ColorMunki from X-Rite works on Debian 8, but it is expensive. We share it within a photo forum community, so I had the possibility to calibrate my screen.
