Hi Aram!
I cannot say anything about the Spyder, nor the Spyder 2, as I've not
used them.
I have used, and continue to use, the Monaco Optix XR (which is, I
believe, now discontinued). I have a 19" Acer LCD Screen, and the
Monaco unit works well with it. I have found the Monaco simple to
use and utterly accurate. Colours and details I see on my screen are
exactly what I get, when I see the prints made by my local lab.
Please, keep us informed as to what you do. Enquiring minds want to know!
Good Luck!
