If so, which one?

 

...accidentally hit the enter key. Title was supposed to read: Do you use a spectrophotometer to calibrate your monitor(s)?

Nah, I use my eyes and personal judgement to calibrate it to what I think looks best.

nope, I adjust things to what my eyes like not what may be more accurate according to some gadget. I tried a datacolor a while back but didn't like how it made things look.

They're not the best ones to use. The i1Display Pro is considered one of the best and used by professional monitor reviewers like Simon Baker of TFT Central.

Thanks for the feedback. I try to use my eyes, but I can't ever get it to (my) perfect. I guess I am a little anal like that.

You can't do it just with your eyes, as your eyes won't see to colors of your display objectively. That's what a sensor does. I use a Spyder4Elite myself.

I assume you're pleased with the results it produces?

So far yes.. I think at the end it's about using an actual tool. I suppose they're all doing well...
