Datacolor's Spyder X2 is the latest iteration of the firm's monitor-calibration device. It's designed to help photographers and videographers adopt a colour-managed workflow, ensuring that their laptop screens and desktop monitors all display images and footage accurately. Compared to the previous SypderX model, the hardware looks practically identical, just updated with a USB-C connector rather than USB-A. However, the software has been substantially revised.
Datacolor offers the Spyder X2 in two versions, Elite (£249) and Ultra (£299). The main difference between them is that the latter allows profiling of displays with a maximum luminance of up to 2,000 nits, which should be valuable to photographers who require such super-bright monitors for tethered shooting outdoors. Meanwhile the Elite version is limited to standard displays up to 750 nits.
