Unless you're using the Spyder4 Elite software, you don't have the ability to calibrate and match multiple displays as closely as possible to each other, because luminance/brightness is important.

Differences between displays based on the calibrated luminance, for instance. If you have a mix of modern displays and they have different (and newer) backlight technologies, then trying to calibrate them with a sensor that was designed years ago for older displays is the problem.Įven beyond that, there are other issues. Spyder4 was released at a time when the most widely used displays were standard gamut sRGB, and display backlights were a mix that still included now-deprecated CCFL. It depends on WHAT kind of displays that you're calibrating.

You're using many-years-old technology from the Spyder4, which has been discontinued for "many" years at this point. I am going to try calibrating the laptop as well but am wondering if anyone has any thoughts? When I told the Spyder to measure the ambient light, the results were even worse. After 3 tries, one of my monitors looks similar to my uncalibrated MacBook and the other monitor is massively different. I used the Spyder software as well as Display Cal. I have blackout curtains in my room and essentially zero ambient light so I set the Spyder to ignore the room reading and calibrate to 6500K. I have been trying to calibrate two monitors with a Spyder 4 Pro and am not really having much luck.
