You "can" continue to use the physical Spyder4 sensor on Catalina-and-later systems, if you use other available 3rd party software that's been updated to run on Mac 64-bit-only systems. It won't run on Mac Catalina-or-later systems because the older Spyder4 software is 32-bit, and Catalina-and-later systems require 64-bit software. Was there a solution to this other than buying new Spyder?Īs I said earlier in this thread, we no longer provide updates for our own Spyder4 software (Datacolor Spyder4Express, Pro, and Elite software). I have the same problem running Spyder 4Pro which now does not work on Mac Bigsur. Now setting up new iMac running Big Sur, and old sensor isn’t seen.

Had been using Spyder 4 sensor with equivalent software on old iMac. Various 3rd party wide gamut displays will have the ability to display in P3, or Adobe RGB, and sometimes switchable/both). The built-in display on all Macs for the past few years have been wide gamut P3. Is it a wide gamut display? (sRGB is "ok" but again you're missing out on the ability to view and edit colors in wider gamut.

Is it a 4K display? (using a standard resolution aka 1080p aka "2K" monitor on a new system, without Retina, would be a shame) If the seller supplies it "with" a Spyder sensor, which Spyder is it? If it's older and has older software, will the Spectraview software be updatable to run properly on a new M1 system? 64-bit software is required on M1 systems, but if the Spectraview software is older, possibly 32-bit itself, and isn't current built/linked with our current Spyder 64-bit SDK, then you're not going to be able to run it on the M1 without an update) How old is it? Depending on how old, the software that comes with it may not have support for the latest SpyderX sensor (or even the previous Spyder5). When thinking about going to an M1 Mac from the 2012 MacBook Pro, the things to consider are: The used Spectraview, I'd take all of the above into consideration. You'll also want to consider getting a wide gamut display that's 4K or higher vs. I'd recommend getting a 4K or higher resolution display and run it as Retina, thus taking advantage of all the modern-day goodness of Macs. You are not going to want to use the 23" Cinema Display with a new system. You could wait until later this year for the presumed arrival of a 16" M1 MacBook Pro, but the current 13" systems are outstanding. When you get a new Mac laptop this year, I would highly recommend getting an M1, not an Intel-based Mac, and consider the M1 as a "top line" system. Also not very bright calibrated, it'll probably just run at around 120 cd/m2 or even lower.

That means "free"), but just realize it's seriously outdated. (I have a number that "sounds like" around $1800 in my head).įor your 2012 laptop, it's not an "awful" choice (you already have it. Horribly magenta ("pink") without calibration and the amount of adjustment needed to calibrate properly and get the right color temperature/gamma was significant, and by definition, reduced the overall brightness of the display in the process)Īny modern display, even very inexpensive ones, will be far better than an old 23" Cinema Display, which was the exact opposite of "very inexpensive" 15 years ago. Many of the Cinema displays suffered from "pink" syndrome with their uncalibrated state, mine included. (Why: it's 15 years old it has a CCFL backlight and it was horribly bad to start with. In fact, it's still up and running, although I wouldn't consider it a useful display "today".

I bought one myself back in 2005 to use with a G5 tower for many years. Is that an Apple 23" Cinema Display you're talking about? That brings back memories. (Many 3rd party display manufacturers do this).

SpectraView would therefore have a license to the Spyder SDK so that they could use it with their own software for calibrating their own displays. Planning on pairing it with a NEC EA monitor to go along with my Cinema Display. Would this Spyder Spectraview kit work with my current setup as well as a brand new one?

I currently am using a 12" macbook pro from 2012 and OS Sierra 10.12.6 but am planning on upgrading to a brand new top line macbook pro later this year. I'm hoping this calibration tool will be useful on my current and future setups but this post made me question it's value going forward. I really would love to have one of these calibration tools for my 23" Cinema Display as well as any new monitors I pick up. Looking to buy a used monitor and it comes with the "SpectraView EA Kit (SVII-EA-KIT) with SpectraViewII software and Spyder colorimeter" Sorry for my ignorance but is there any possibility you could simplify this for me a little bit?
