Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Calibration
What is display calibration?
Display calibration is the process of adjusting your screen so that the colors you see are accurate and consistent. Without calibration, your photos, videos, or designs might look great on your screen—but completely different when you share or print.
Why does screen color accuracy matter?
If you’re editing photos, designing graphics, or sharing content online, color accuracy ensures your work looks the way you intended — on every screen, in print, and across platforms. It’s especially important for creators, designers, and anyone working with visuals.
Do I need special skills to calibrate my screen?
Not at all! The Spyder Ecosystem is designed for beginners and professionals alike. With a simple and guided process, you can calibrate your screen in just 90 seconds – no technical background required.
Will Spyder work with my screen?
Yes! Spyder works with a wide range of displays, including:
- Laptops and desktops (Windows & Mac)
- OLED and mini-LED screens
- High-brightness monitors
- Multi-monitor setups
Do I need to recalibrate often?
Do I need to buy a new device to get more features?
Nope! The Spyder Ecosystem is upgradeable by software. You can start with a basic model and unlock advanced features later – no need to buy new hardware.
