[QUOTE="chappers, post: 1245866, member: 77473"] I have a 27" iMac and have had other monitors before. I wouldn't consider using any without getting them calibrated. I've not used a Spyder for years and when I did I was not over impressed.However I understand that the Spyder 3 is a much respected model. I currently use a Eye-One with Colour Eyes Display Pro software. This gives very accurate display calibration. However I would think that the default software that comes with either of the units you mention will do an excellent job. One thing to bear in mind is that by default the iMac display is very bright. Some devices have trouble taming this. Go into Sys Prefs and reduce the brightness down to around 50% ( depending on ambient illumination) before calibrating and this should help. [/QUOTE]
