How to Determine Your Monitor’s cd/m2 or NITs
The brightness capability of your monitor screen (expressed as cd/m2 or NITs) can usually be found on its packaging box or the manufacturer’s website. The following link may also be helpful.

(Specifications and features of desktop monitors and TVs)
Advanced Display Mapping & Analysis
Understand your monitors' colour, brightness, contrast, gamut, tone response and white point better. You can also check screen brightness, colour uniformity, and display colour accuracy.
Side-by-side Multiple Computer/Display Calibration
Studio Match provides simultaneous side-by-side calibration for multiple computers/displays. Ensures consistent and accurate colour reproduction across multiple connected monitors with most monitor types.
Video and Cinema Targets
Experience a more concise user interface (UI) experience.
Rec. 709, Rec. 2020
Unlimited Calibration Settings
Starting with industry-standard presets, you can customize settings to meet all your calibration needs, including fully customizable gamma curves, white points, and brightness settings.
Soft Proofing
It allows you to simulate other displays and devices on your calibrated screen. For printers, you can see how prints will look for a specific printer model, paper and ink and upload ICC printer profiles.
Room Light Monitoring
An integrated ambient light sensor measures your room light throughout the day, allowing you to adjust your display brightness and contrast to ideal levels. The software can warn you to recalibrate or automatically use custom profiles based on the light level.
How it works
Display calibration optimizes your monitor's colour performance and accuracy for your workflow (photography, videography, etc.). This quick and easy process measures, evaluates, and corrects your monitor display for an accurate view of your digital world.
Spyder monitor calibrators create an ICC display profile used by the video card and colour-managed software in your computer's operating system. A calibrated display lets your computer show an accurate colour representation of your image file within your editing software so you can make precise editing decisions to create the look you want.
Spyder X2 makes calibration accurate and easy, helping you each step of the way.
