Different results and measuring with Colormunki and Spyder 4/5

[S Simeonov]

Now I got a really nice tint free calibration.

That’s great.

Is there any way to share the Spyder 4 correction file? And then using it on the Spyder 5?

Sure, the database is public. This should be the correction file: Spyder4 & AU Optronics B173ZAN01.0 (ColorMunki)
Note though that due to manufacturing tolerances and other variables the correction may not work as well on your particular instrument + display combination (even if it were the same instrument).
You may have to edit the file (replace all occurrences of “Spyder4” with “Spyder5”) in a text editor.

So in general, you suggest that we have to use generic correction for our display-panel types etc. WLED and so on, instead of the user database corrections?

Only if you are doubtful about a user-created correction and there is a high quality generic alternative (e.g. the X-Rite spectral corrections are made with a high-end Minolta CS 2000 spectrometer). If you have a spectrometer and can create corrections yourself this doesn’t apply in the same way, obviously.

I see 🙂
