Anyone ever use Spyder2 Express?

[Jack Hammer]

I read the review for thespyderTV Pro calibration system here, but couldn't find anything out about the Spyder2 Express.

Anyway, I saw the Spyder2 Express calibration system on Costco's website for $60, and want to know if it's worth buying or if anyone has ever used it. It is a scaled down version of the pro, same (i think) colorometer, but preset colors, not user adjustable.

The cost is great but is this worth buying? Does anyone have any personal experience with it?

Thanks

If you read closely you will see the spider 2 is for computer moniters. Not Tv's
Im asuming it might be the same peice of hardware, just this one does not include the dvd's needed for the tv setup.

Wether this device would work for a Tv, I dont know. But they dont state it does.

The manufacturers website lists an upgrade to from this to the pro or suite versions. I think they might all use the same reader (whatever it's called) device, just different software, but I don't actually know. It says it will calibrate an lcd display. Many people are able to use their computer with their lcd tv. This leads me to believe it may be possible to use. That is also why I'm asking if anyone has ever used it or has any kind of experience with it. If it works, for $60 it may be worth it.

Any thoughts?
