The best hardware unfortunately is no longer manufactured (the fine OPTIX from X-rite). But an EyeOne Display is also a very good product.

Thanks Andrew,

So you dont recomment the spyder pro 3 then?

It isn't clear to me that any old EyeOne Display will work with the NEC. A friend of mine just received his 3090 and it's refusing to initialize the EyeOne Display 2 puck he already owns. NEC tech support seems to be blowing him off because the puck doesn't have "NEC" stamped on it.

I don't have an opinion on that device, haven't tested one.

My EyeOne says GretagMacbeth on it (that's how old it is). You don't need a NEC branded unit (its just a decal anyway). At least on the Mac, the latest version is 1.0.4.2 and supports the 3090. Note that in Europe, its a totally different software package so I can't say if it works for the newer unit or not.
