how important is the difference in brightness range? what are the most common uses for each product?
Asked by: richard
Hi Richard, you first need to have a monitor that can exceed 450 nits. Working with a monitor of this range is often done in high brightness environments. A high brightness environment is one where the lighting is uncontrolled, is higher than the standard photographic environment, outdoor and location shooting (photo or video) and bright studios. Photo and video shoots often happen in locations where the lighting is changing and is uncontrolled. The High Brightness Display Technology is specifically optimized for use when calibrating a monitor in a high brightness situation or when using a monitor brightness is higher than a standard photography environment. The Spyder X2 Ultra can calibrate monitors up to 2,000 Nits (cd/m^2) brightness. There is a calibration setting for work above 450 nits in the Spyder X2 Ultra software. -Datacolor Support

Asked by: Jim
Hi Jim, thanks for your question. Yes, you can use the Spyder X2 Ultra to set your brightness to a desired level, both during the calibration process and to individually set the brightness level. Note - our software does not allow you to control the brightness slider/controls on your MacBook Pro. The Spyder software provides you with a brightness value and you can use your MacBook Pro controls to set the brightness at a particular measured value. Best regards, Datacolor Support

Can I use this to calibrate LG C2 OLED Tv?

Can I use this to calibrate LG C2 OLED Tv?
Asked by: Sharath
Hi Sharath, The Spyder X2 Elite & Spyder X2 Ultra do support most OLED technologies on the market. But, there are different OLED technologies available and one that is used on only a very, very small number of displays can cause an issue, we say the Spyder X2 does not support OLED. We have found in our testing that this monitor can be calibrated well by the Spyder X2 Ultra
