(Sometimes a whole lot.) Even the conditions where you view the monitor can havean effect on what the color looks like on the screen. Color can vary from monitor to monitor or change over time. The results are amazing.Įvery wonder why the pictures you took at the beach, graduation or your kid's game don't look the same on your monitor as you remember them? Well, monitors aren't perfect.

View full Reviewįor photo hobbyists, design enthusiasts, gamers and web viewing, ColorMunki Smile is a super simple way to get more accurate color from your monitor. This 20 minute phone call and the three or so emails she sent while we were on the phone has made me an instant loyal customer of x-rite.

X-rite could have said 'sorry, call microsoft', like alot of companies would do. I want to re-iterate that the problem was with my computer not the software. When all else failed she came up with a way to trick windows into allowing me to get the executable into the proper folder (which I should have been able to do if not for windows thinking erroneously that it was a dangerous file). I won't bore you with all the specifics but she very patiently had me go through a bunch of windows security and firewall settings.

She walked me through the most common problems first but when that didn't work she didn't give up and blame windows, even though that was the problem and it had nothing to do with the x-rite software itself. I could tell she was not just reading pre-written procedures but actually knew what she was talking about. I called the 1-800 number and was on hold less than a minute.

There was a faq about this that I followed the instuction of but that didn't fix it (it should have but my windows install is messed up). The monitor would calibrate fine but the changes would go away every time the pc went to sleep or restarted. The main reason I am writing this review is because I had a problem with the profile loader xrgamma.exe not installing properly and I wanted to relay my experience with x-rite's very helpful customer service. at this entry level price point you can't expect everything. My only complaint is I wish it came with some kind of storage case, to help keep it in good shape. The faq on the manufacturers website says this is normal. As for quality I have no frame of reference as this is my first experience with calibrating monitors, but it does make photos look a bit warmer. I bought this to calibrate my screen so when I use adorampix's profiles to check photos before ordering prints I'll have a better chance of seeing what I'll get.
