Datacolor Spyder 3 (since ArgyllCMS 1.1.0).For display readings, these currently are: All instruments supported by ArgyllCMS are also supported by Displa圜AL. You need one of the supported instruments to make measurements. To use Displa圜AL, you need to download and install ArgyllCMS (1.0 or newer). A graphics card with at least 24 bits per pixel (true color) support and the desktop set up to use this color depth.

A recent Linux, Mac OS X (10.6 or newer for the standalone version, 10.5 or newer for the 0install version) or Windows (XP/Server 2003 or newer) operating system.If nothing else, the website (especially the forum and FAQ) are a goldmine of information on the arcane arts of color calibration and profiling. What I like are the interactive tools that allow you to critically measure and adjust the monitor setup prior to profiling and and then confirm the results to assure yourself the desired outcome is obtained.Īlso, once you make one profile for your monitor, as long as you don't touch the actual monitor controls, you can generate unlimited additional profiles in differing color spaces directly from the existing profile without having to actually re-measure color patches. As I understand it, the profile loader can hold any number of custom profiles for each monitor and they can be loaded upon demand without rebooting.īe forewarned, the software is NOT for the faint of heart and you'll be required to carefully read the manual to install both Displa圜al and the underlying ArgyllCMS, but it's not too hard if you carefully follow the instructions. The nice thing is it has a custom display profile loader that is more accurate than the Windows default and loads the new profiles upon boot. I just profiled my dual monitor Windows 10 system and the results were very good. Just a quick shout-out for Displa圜AL and ArgyllCMS Open Source Display and Characterization Software.
