Monitor Calibration Software I1
Getting photos on your Mac to match the colors of the original images starts with calibrating the display. Professional calibration systems use hardware-based colorimeters, devices that attach to a display and measure the way it behaves in response to various images. These systems are accurate but too expensive for most casual users. Organizing visual content mac app. But if you want to accurately calibrate your monitor, you'll need a hardware tool. My budget recommendations are: Good = Spyder 5 Express ($120) Better = X-Rite ColorMunki ($180) Best = X-Rite i1 Display Pro ($230) The Spyder will give you an excellent baseline calibration for those who aren't doing the most color critical work.

The actual calibration took under five minutes and the results were easily visible.

I'm reading that if one really requires accurate colours, than this calibration should be done every two weeks because several monitor components age - that sure sounds like a maintenance item to me.
I just got into a discussion with a friend of mine where we were exchanging scanned images of product flyers and, although we couldn't see each others monitors, it became obvious that my monitor calibration was way off. Other than to adjust brightness and contrast to suit me, I only tried to calibrate the monitor once over all the years I had it.
I tried using the built in monitor calibration in Display preferences again and am having trouble to really see the change in the visual appearance clearly.
Other than spending a large chunk of money to buy an external calibration device, is there any other way I can try to calibrate my monitor in at least to a reasonable degree, enough for personal use where the colour is at least close to what it should be.
