Roger:
My Spyder 3 is not bought in bundle with my NEC 2690wuxi2.
As Andrea Olivotto I', satisfied with my calibration results. But I
haven't had any possibility to verify with another measuring device,
only my eyes. I don't trust them a lot because all those talks about the
Spyder 3:s shortcomings. Should I believe my eyes?
Andrea Olivotto:
As I wrote in my question to Datacolor I could read all over the
internet that Spyder 3 doesn't work with wide gamut displays. I don't
think there can be such a lot of mix up between Spyder 2 and 3. But it
can be a rumor about Spyder 3 that spread all over the internet that has
no substance. But even NEC believe that the early Spider 3 was bad and
newer ones are better but not good. NEC answer on two question on their
support site:

In my question to Datacolor I ask "Does it [Spyder 3]have support for my
display NEC 2690wuxi2". The answer was yes. :-|
