Display calibration is something every photographer, video editor, and designer should do. But why is it necessary? And what should you use? In this video, I explain why calibration is important, how to calibrate using the Datacolor SypderX Pro, and provide answers to common questions.

Note: Datacolor provided me with the SpyderX Pro for the purposes of this creating this video.
