If your ambient light changes after you calibrate and put away the calibrator then of course it is not going to adjust to suit. As I understand it the Pro & Elite versions measure ambient light and then set the monitor brightness to an appropriate level based on the ambient light at the time of the calibration. I have the Spyder4Express and like the way it works. I only wanted the color errors fixed, and the Express did that just fine. I actually didn't want an ambient light sensor I keep my computer room fairly dark, and the monitor backlight set at minimum.This monitor has no other adjustments. I've been very happy with the Spyder 4 Express on my Dell 3007WFP-HC. If it was a mistake to pass on the ambient sensor I can still change the order.
Would it suffice to close the curtains and calibrate the display once for daylight and night time? I work with the photos more often at night. But will I have to connect the Spyder sensor each time the lighting conditions change or would it suffice to save multiple lighting scenarios and switch between them on PC?Īnd I do the development of my photos in a room with a big window directly to my right. I understood it to regulate the Display's brightness according to the room's lighting conditions. Is it a must have? I may have missed what its role actually is. The only thing I'm hesitant about is the ambient sensor.
Was considering the the Pro version at first but thought that I won't need the extras:
