After a small series of tests, it is very strong, very good and very powerful!

The following are the steps to correct the display with Spyder4Elite.

Ok, the calibration wizard has officially started. Firstly, the type of the corresponding display device is selected according to the type, and the notebook computer/desktop computer is selected here.

Spyder4Elite HD software will be updated automatically when it is first run here. Then help users to check before calibration, for example, before calibration, the display screen should be turned on at least 1 hour, and the light should not be directed at the display screen. If it is a desktop, it is best to restore the factory settings. Finally, as long as Spyder4Elite is still connected to the computer, you can click "Forward"!

Next, choose the type of monitor. You can choose the corresponding options according to your own monitor type.
