Hopefully an easy question for you: I have a new Windows 7 computer (at last!) and a Dell U2410 monitor on the way. What calibration equipment should I get? I'd prefer a less expensive one; want to calibrate but don't need top of the line, am an enthusiast and not a professional.
I know monitors and calibration tools have been discussed ad nauseum on these posts. But I'm not sure what will or will not work with Windows 7 and what is the best choice for me given the above. Many thanks. And many thanks for all the existing posts on monitors; they were very helpful to me in choosing the Dell U2410.

EyeOne Display-2 or, if you decide you want to make your own printer profiles, the ColorMunki.

I do have a couple of questions that I think relate to OP's inquiry above. If they have been discussed before, I apologize.
I am thinking of adding the Dell U2410 as my second monitor to the NEC 2490 w/ Spectraview II. With the Dell U2410 as my wide gamut monitor, will I be able to calibrate it with SVII? If not, with the Dell and NEC monitors both connected to the same graphics card, will using the EyeOne Display screw up the calibration of the NEC monitor (or cause software clash with the SVII)? I assume that unlike the SVII, EyeOne Display calibrates the graphics card instead of the monitor itself...?
Or would I avoid potential headaches if I get another NEC wide gamut monitor such as the P221W or LCD2690 so that I can use the SVII?
I am also thankful for all the posts about monitos and color calibration that have been discussed on photo.net. I have especially found Mr. Rodney's advice to be very helpful...thank you!
