@@BabyMessi_ yes, you can buy it and calibrate your monitor then return it. But the catch is after few months your monitor colors will become inaccurate again and you'll have to buy again. Calibration doesn't last forever you have to keep updating so it just makes sense to keep it long-term unless you want to keep returning or one-time use. Hope this helps
waste of time and money unless running a clean feed bypassing the OS. windows color management is a nightmare! Make sure to check your final exports on several different devices. Standard sRGB mode or Rec709 is what you want for delivery to the web.
@Dominic_Digital no, I use calibrate rather than spyder. Unfortunately the spyder units have questionable accuracy. Even still, calibrating for web delivery is almost pointless as almost all web is simple srgb. So putting monitor in anything other than srgb mode might not look right online. Try uploading an export to youtune im rec 709 gamma 2.4 but monitor it in rec 709 . Then, put your monitor into srgb mode, adjust it to your liking and export again. Any export settings will deliver as expected if you monitor in srgb mode. If you monitor any other mode, web delivery gamma will be off by a small percentage. I'm doing a whole.video soon about calibtating for web delivery and windows color management. It's super confusing!!!!
Sure...except that's 100% completely worthless unless literally EVERY screen that ever sees it is calibrated the exact same way. Fun fact, they aren't, and won't be.
it ensures that colors are accurate for those that have calibrated screens and for those that don't have calibrated screens your video colors won't look way off. Lesser color accuracy error. Make the viewer's experience as good as possible
@@Dominic_Digital Except, again, it's still entirely useless for anyone but the actual user. My PC monitor, my TV, and my phone all have very different screens and different un-calibrated colors. My monitor has really deep colors and they're super vibrant by default, my TV is super basic, and my phone is somewhere in between. I do have the TV and monitor color calibrated independently, but I also run my PC through both and Windows has it's own calibrations, and NVidia control also has it's own further calibrations.. Long story short, you can calibrate your own monitor as accurately as you can possibly want, and once it's out on the billion and one types of screens other people have it becomes pointless.
@@Astraeus.. the point isn't for everyone to see the same thing in the exact same colour but to make it as true to the original as possible and having a very badly calibrated monitor WILL make videos look a lot worse when calibrated afterwards on all devices whether one has less sRGB coverage or more if you've edited your videos and calibrated it to have a green tint for the sake of your monitor, then the green tint will be more apparent on some other device e.g. your tv, however if the monitor was already calibrated to be balanced as possible then when you calibrate the video you would change the tint less if at all basically what I'm trying to say is that we're not trying to make the video be perfect on all screens but avoid it from being the worst in which a colour corrected monitor helps with ALOT
@@Astraeus..that’s the end user’s problem if they’re using something with inaccurate colors. You’re basically saying there’s not point in trying to achieve color accuracy at all because so many people have uncalibrated screens. But not everything will be displayed on a screen; people print things out or design billboards and clothing and all sorts of stuff
Great video I'm upgrading my monitor and I think this will be a great tool.
No glad it helped and Forsure I’ve been using it and it does the job
It’s also 250$…

Other options go in the thousands lmao
@@yosemitesam9576 oh yea they can get pricey 😅
@@Dominic_Digitalis it possible to buy it then return after calibrating?

I see you with that NZXT desktop 😅
Heeyyy lol you use the same one
A bit expensive, but essential nontheless.
needed fosure

Spyder X is a piece of shit, buy X rite Calibrite
Why do you say that ?
@@Dominic_Digital Because the science and math behind Spyder X is so bad, colorists recommend staying away from Spyder X.
