Spyder 3 Pro worth it for gaming?

Hi all,

I have a Samsung 46" LCD hooked up to a PC via HDMI that I use for gaming.

I was wondering if its worth investing in a Spyder 3 Pro to ensure my system is calibrated correctly bearing in mind its for gaming.

Thanks

Re: Spyder 3 Pro worth it for gaming?

Hi Coolit

I have used a Spyder3 TV to correct all the panels in my house and it made a huge diff, not sure what the diff between the Pro is though.
I know Home Cinema Choice Mag use the really expensive one to give test results in the mag.
I would like to upgrade the software to get more detailed reports but not sure if you can? (anyone) Would like to compare the contrast ratio's etc with more modern panels.
