I want to properly calibrate my monitor so I can edit photos on my screen and have them look like the way they'll be printed. My current monitor is a Dell 2407-HC, and at some point in the near future I intend to add other screens (like a laptop screen) that I'll want to calibrate as well.
I'm looking at the Spyder family of colorimeters, if only because that's a name I've heard bandied about for the last couple decades. There are three levels of Spyder. On the basis of assuming that I don't need every bell and whistle, I'm looking at the Express and Pro
Does the Spyder Express work, or will I get it and realize that it is lacking for some reason? I read some reviews online but still have little idea why I'd need or want the upgraded features of the Pro. I don't understand the calibration process in enough detail and I haven't been able to learn that info from anywhere yet.
Any guidance on this is much appreciated. Thanks!
