Hi All,

I just setup a Spyder2 to do calibration of my Ubuntu box with inexpensive
TN LCD panels.   I also need to calibrate my XP box with old CRT displays.

Questions:

1. For Spyder2 under argyll, do you use the LCD baffle when calibrating like
you do for the vendor software?
2. The vendor's software didn't provide an option for calibrating ambient
light.   Should I measure with the LCD baffle on?   My I1D2 had a white
plastic cover that you use when measuring ambient.   Should I use something
like that?

Thank you in advance,

Bob
