I have this and it's great!

Calibrate my monitors every couple of months...

You can also calibrate your iOS Devices with this with their App which is free from the App Store...

There are people actually charging to calibrate your monitors with this on Kijiji... LOL!!!

If that's how your moral compass works, yes. But why even wait for a sale? Just get the Pro Plus model and return it.

Not really. There are probably manual methods of doing it, but it'd be a long drawn out process and a person might as well just adjust by eye.

This is designed to create a computer generated profile for colour accuracy.

I have a SpyderX on order for C$170 (all in; taxes, duties, and free shipping to Canada) - it was on deal at BHPhoto NYC (US$99+free ship to Canada). SpyderX will usually be cheaper but I've heard that i1D is the better one. Since I am not a professional, and want to use for hobbyist calibration, I just got what was cheaper :) TBH, for casual use, a SpyderX is just as good as the i1D, imo.

You can certainly use this to calibrate TVs (at least the RGB, and brightness). The ICC/profiling won't help since it's more of an OS-level thing.

For context, the "calibration" happens in 2 parts:

1. The calibration of RGB/brightness.
2. Profiling and loading up the ICC on Windows/Mac.

The second one is what won't work for a TV unless when it's connected to a computer that has the profile loaded.

You can actually use this for TVs - at least partially/under the condition of the panel being hooked up to a computer. See my post: amazon-ca-x-rite-i1display-studio-colou ... #p32638377

More specifically... the profile will only work for content that's played through the computer.

This unit works incredibly with TVs, but you need a few additional things...
I use it in my LGOLEDC8 and LGOLEDC9.
The software I use is CalMAN Home for LG. ($145USD). This is all you need for the LGOLEDC9 since it amazingly has a built in pattern generator.
For the LGOLEDC8, you also need to use an external pattern generator that can be pretty pricey.
I highly recommend this i1 and the CalMAN software for anyone who owns an LGOLEDC9

Check the CalMan website. Not every manufacturer is self-calibration friendly.

Gotta say that I did not like the software that came with my Xrite i1 Display Pro. I use an open source software solution to calibrate (Argyll + dispcalGUI_

Big thing was that neither the fast calibrate mode (5 minutes) or a custom mode smoothed out the gradients I could spot in a gray scale test image.

A long time ago I found the Spyder software easier to use - not sure where the current product is at but a recent review of the new unit was positive.
