All I can find are places to order one to be delivered, but I'm more of an impulse shopper, and so after I pay the money, I want the bloody thing in my hands immediately.
So...................... Where can I go to get a color calibrator for my monitor? I would prefer the Spyder one.

I think that Best Buy might have them, too.

I've got a Monaco DTP-94/EZColor2 system (puck and software) that I'm not using anymore since I bought an NEC 2690 with a Gretag MacBeth calibration/profiling system. Be glad to sell it to you for $175.

Alas, I don't have too much of a budget on one (wife), and so can only afford the spyder 2 express type.
Thank you for the offer though nyphotopro.

Todd. I have an old Panatone Spyder Pro that I replaced with a GM Eye-One, so I don't need it any more.
If you want, you can come by and get it, (NRH) and try it. If it works out for you you can just pay me whatever YOU think it is worth. Which most likely isn't much!!! Well within your (Wife's) budget I'm sure>
Whatever, you're more than welcome to try it!
I'm in the phone book, on Shannon Lane.
