Datacolor Spyder X2 review. Monitor calibrating for editing and video. Matching lighting colour.

Review of the Datacolor Spyder X2. Monitor calibration hardware and software. Matching a screen for video and for editing images. How colour temperature and brightness is matched.

The Spyder X2 allows for calibration of monitors and projectors. The X2 Ultra version supports screens up to 2000 cd/m2 [2000 nits] for HDR and projection. The example here shows monitor calibration at the very low colour temperature of 4000K to match ambient room lighting for print matching and recording video with a screen in it.

The print viewing light show at the end is the Ilfolux, reviewed in this video:
