So retail products like the Spyder are little more than toys in spite what you might of heard in marketing hype. Sorry, good ones that are accurate cost between $700-$1,000. Calibration using a spectrophotometer is sorry, at best an ify if not near worthless process UNLESS you get a good meter. ![]() I recently purchased a Panasonic 65 inch 3D "smart tv", (outstanding picture quality in the plasma version) and in general I'm very happy with it.
