Calibrite Display 123 Monitor Calibration Colorimeter for Photo Editing and Color Accurate Viewing, Easy 1 2 3 Software Workflow, USB C Connection, and Before and After Check, Supports 2 Displays

The Calibrite Display 123 Colorimeter is a game-changer if you care about accurate colors. Setup was quick and the software walked me through the whole process in just a few minutes. After calibration, the difference was night and day—blacks looked deeper, whites cleaner, and colors finally matched across my monitors. The build quality feels solid, and the weighted design makes it easy to place on any screen. What I love most is the confidence it gives me—whether I’m editing photos, designing, or even just watching movies, I know the colors are true to life. For creatives or anyone who wants their display to look its best, this tool is worth every cent. Reliable, simple, and accurate—highly recommended!

If your color management needs require full control over color temperature, gamma, fine-tuning of monitor colors, more than 2 monitors, verification of calibration, or other features, then this isn't the product for you. But you will need to pay at least 2.5 times more to get those features. For many photographers and other content creators this calibrator might be all you need. It is super easy to use. Just download the software, plug the calibrator into a USB-C port (sorry, no USB-A without a user-supplied adapter), start the software, and follow the prompts. It really is as simple as 1,2,3. You are limited to a color temperature of 6500K and gamma of 2.2. You can either calibrate to a recommended luminance of 120 cd/m2, or to a monitor brightness level of your choice. You can download the software and use it in demo mode to see how the calibration process operates. prior to purchase. I used it to calibrate a MacBook Air M4 with Asus PA279CV monitor, as well as with a Dell XPS 15 with Dell S2718D monitor. Both monitors benefited significantly from calibration. I repeated the calibration procedure multiple times to ensure the results were consistent, which they were. My only complaint is that the calibration software's "Before and After" feature appears to be non-functional, both on the Mac and Windows. It's not needed; you can see the difference just by changing display profiles after calibration is complete. Highly recommended!

Pretty bad. Color profiles are inaccurate, completely useless. Calibrated 3 monitors 2 of profiles are completly different. One very warm, two other cold colors i can see difference clearly. Soft is very glitchy crushed several times. Doesn't support Linux. So it's absolutely useless.

This product offers simplified features compared to typical display calibrators. Despite being half the price of standard models, it lacks user-friendliness. Yes, Calibrite claims to provide simple settings for casual users, but the reality is quite the opposite. First, calibration results are only added to system folders, and once measurement is complete, it arbitrarily changes the user's color profile—both actions that casual users cannot properly manage. Additionally, since measurement results can only be checked with the ICC inspector, it appears to be designed more for professionals. The affordable price may be attractive to those who understand the product's characteristics and know how to make additional adjustments, but others might find themselves confused.

As a lifelong photography hobbyist, I’ve occasionally struggled with color accuracy on Windows-based photo editing, displays, and printing. The Calibrite Display 123 Colorimeter has been a big help in balancing my monitor so that colors appear more natural and true-to-life. The device is easy to use and provides better color consistency, which makes a noticeable difference in both editing and printing. For anyone serious about accurate colors on their display, this is a solid, user-friendly tool.

Once I got this device up and running it was fine, but the front end experience was bad. I have two monitors and the color balance was not the same on both. After using this device two monitors are now in sync. However, getting it up and running was a problem: (a) the QR code on the box took me to a dead webpage; (b) On the software downloads the Calibrite 123 was not listed in the "supported" devices for the latest Profiler 3.0 version. The prior version specifically covered this product. However, when I reviewed the details on the 3.0 version it did say that the update fixed a couple of bugs with the 123. So Profiler 3.0 was downloaded and it did work; (c) why do I have to register to use the product; (d) when I tried to register it wanted to send me an email verifying the registration. That email never came (...it did hours later), so at that point I was ready to just send it all back. But I ended up attaching the device and opening the software and it worked. And it worked fine. I now have two calibrated monitors after all the fuss at the front end.

One star at the start. Here's why: This device's cable ends in a USB-C male plug! Many of us use computers with the standard USB-A sockets only. No, the Amazon product description does not mention this. Oddly, the product description on the Calibrite web site coyly mentions it only at the end of the product feature list; on the Calibrite video note that the user plugs it into a USB hub with USB-C. The adapter was easy enough to find on Amazon but now it's another two-day wait for me to calibrate my monitor, hence the failing grade. This should have been mentioned clearly in the product description. Three days later... I received the adapter from Amazon, plugged it in to my USB-A socket on my HP display, and started the calibration. Unlike my previous experience with freeware calibration (sadly no longer updated), there was no confusing and over-long preference stage; actually, there wasn't anything confusing at all except for the oddly-named "native" setting (I used "photo" and got an unaccustomed blue 5500 degrees). I've upgraded to five stars for good value and easy operation. (Hey, Calibrite! Do a re-write on the Amazon product description and let us know that we probably have to order a female USB-C to male USB-A adapter.)

I purchased this color calibrater for my laptop. I was slightly disappointed that it only had a USB-C cord to plug it into my laptop. My laptop only had a USB-A port. I had to buy a converter. However, I was very pleased with the ease of use and the final calibration results. The pictures I printed through a professional studio matched my screen color very well. I highly recommend this product. I think the quality, ease of use, and results were well worth it.

Calibra muy buen y además es muy fácil de hacerlo

Plug it in, follow a few steps, and boom—my monitor looks like it finally woke up. Colors are accurate, shadows balanced, and the process was painless. Exactly what I needed. No fluff, just proper calibration.

Buen producto, funciona tal como esperaba, ayuda a calibrar colores, negros y blancos en tu monitor de manera satisfactoria!

Does the job well, fair price, no complaints

First time I’ve ever colour calibrated anything and this is haven’t been a photographer. This is a great product and cost-effective.
