It went OK with my Pantone Spyder-II. In fact the adjustment needed was
very small, less than almost any other display I have used. The Pantone,
has a special shield round the sensor assembly, that _must_ be used when
calibrating LCD's. The later Optix is meant to work with both, but I am
not sure that older models did.
