IPhone 3G used's review (Does not work with Vista) 『I bought this a couple of weeks ago. It is no longer available, but more importantly it does not work with Vista. Customer Support replied to my query simply by acknowledging that it doesn't work with Vista and offering a 20% discount on Spyder3. At the very least, they should have suggested that I return the product for a refund.』
(Spyder TV by Colorvision) 『The product has high potential. Unfortunately, tha same cannot be said for the company, Colorvision. The hardware would appear to work fine. The software is problematic: (1)it does NOT work with Vista (2)it does not load completely with XP Professional (3)the web site patches do NOT work (4)the web site is difficult to navigate to (5)Customer Service is TERRIBLE! unresponsive, indifferent, and if and when you do get a response it may have no relevance to your problem I returned the product out of frustration』
(Great Hardware/Average Software) 『The Colorvision STV100 is a good/great colorimeter. The trick is getting the right software which unfortunately is not included with the hardware. Instead of a robust set of software tools to do a proper calibration, the Spydertv package comes with just enough software support to do a very minor and basic adjustment. However, with the use of a product called "Color HCFR", which is a FREE set of software tools, one can get fantastic DIY calibration results with the Spydertv colorimeter. Just head over to http://www.homecinema-fr.com to grab what you need. I still rate this as a 4 star package due to the fact you can still get a great calibration by downloading the free software.』
(Make Sure You're Smarter Than The TV) 『I bought this puppy a few days ago and have run it a few times to get a feel for the calibration qualities of the Sensor.
Now let me say that I've tried it in a room with only modest light as well as a room with no other Ambient Light Source and both proved to be identical values so as long as it isn't broad daylight with the blinds open it is pretty reliable.
Let me add that the device is a Colorimeter which is for calibrating color and it is actually very good at it! Much better than you could eyeball regardless of who you are.
So with all that said, let's address some of the complaints, or should I say misconceptions with the device.
1st, all the Device knows are absolutes that are pre-programmed into the software and it is designed to achieve accuracy within a certain degree (often lower than .05% Deviation) and your eyes will never be that accurate.
2nd, Skin Tones Change based on the light source used and unfortunately Hollywood knows that the lighting creates atmosphere so the skin tones will never be 100% reliable in any movie; So let's take the movie "The Guardian" for example this movie had no less than 7 different light sources depending on the scene and this would make calibrating your screen based on skin tones as tough a target as trying to pinpoint a Democrats Morals (After all, truth is relative right?). In Reality Skin tones can only truly be used to judge Calibration based on a Daylight Scene and ONLY if You Know the Skin Tone To Begin With.
So if you're going to judge the devices capabilities then you should use known quantities to judge. Good sources are Whites Lines, Known Black Items and Blue Skies or use a modern Animated Feature like Finding Nemo or Shrek where light temperature is never really a factor.
Now as for Brightness and Contrast, these characteristics are designed to work within a defined range as well and the Colorimeter is doing what it's told to do...
Basically, the software measures the top value and the bottom value for each setting and then takes a few calculated readings from in between to determine range while setting the appropriate mid-point for Range. Keep in Mind, that isn't arbitrary and as such the device will not know if part of a scene is too dark, it is just trying to keep everything operating within a certain range without letting parts of the scene get blown out (the more range your TV has the better this will work but at 700:1 or 1500:1 it will require some user intervention).
My advice for setting up a TV, that is less than 2000:1 contrast ratio, with the SpyderTV is to go through the whole setup and then tweak the brightness and contrast with a THX Video Test from a Pixar Disk like Finding Nemo or using DVE for these settings.
So, with all that said this device is every bit as accurate as higher priced calibration tools but does require a little bit of knowledge to operate properly within spec.』
(Colorvision) 『Colorvision STV100 Spyder TV Colormeter is a great piece of equipment. Easy to use and does the job.』 『The Datacolor SpyderTV colorimeter and software deliver an easy-to-use solution for optimizing any TV for a better viewing experience. SpyderTV scientifically measures contrast, brightness, color, tint, and color temperature presets on your TV and helps you make the necessary adjustments to dramatically improve your picture quality. SpyderTV supports Plasma, RPTV, DLP, LCD and CRT TVs.When you bought your TV, it was set to look good in a retail store that is completely different from your home. Also, the TV manufacturers have no idea what DVD, cables, signal source or other components you are using. All of these have an impact on your TV's performance. Understanding this, TV manufacturers put superb tools for home adjustment in the user menu for brightness, contrast,color, tint and color temperature. The problem is, thesetools are difficult to use and you have no way of knowing for sure you've set them correctly. Until now...SpyderTV is a colorimeter that scientifically measures contrast, brightness, color, tint, and color temperature presets on your TV and helps you make the necessary adjustments to dramatically improve your picture quality. The SpyderTV sensor is attached to your laptop or desktop computer using a USB cable, and then attaches to the front of your TV screen. Then the sensor analyzes the test patterns on the DVD. Based on the information it sees, the software running on your computer instructs you how to adjust your settings accurately without any guesswork. The SpyderTV is like an electronic "eye" that makes scientific measurements and tells you how to make the right adjustments that would be impossible to make with the human eye alone.This product includes:1 SpyderTV software CD;1 SpyderTV colorimeter;1 Suction cup/tripod attachment;1 SpyderTV test pattern and Instructions DVD;1 Storage Bag.』 『Make sure your TV produces the same bright, vibrant picture at home as it does in the store showroom with the Colorvision STV100 SpyderTV Colormeter, which takes the guesswork out of improving your TV picture.

What's in the Box SpyderTV Colormeter, DVD instructions, printed operating instructions
FAQWhy do I need to calibrate my TV?Right out of the box, your new TV is still set at the factory's default settings. Calibration can greatly improve performance. Your TV can only deliver maximum performance when it's calibrated to work perfectly with your video sources (such as cable and DVD) and with the room's lighting conditions. Color settings can drift over time, so calibration is recommended for older TVs as well.What are the benefits of calibrating my TV?The biggest change is a dramatic improvement in picture quality. Here are some of the improvements you should immediately see:
More accurate color values
More natural and lifelike skin tones
Maximized shadow and highlight detail
Visible improvement in cable and satellite programming, next generation DVDs, video games--as well as existing DVDs and home movies
IPhone 3G used's review (JumpStart Baby) 『We have a 10 month old daughter who absolutely loves Jumpstart Baby. She sits on our laps for hours, bouncing away to the music. It's very easy for her to use, and she seems to enjoy it emmensely.』
(Still Fun For my 3 year old) 『This was purchased for my daughter when she was 7 months old - she really didn't grow into it until she was over a year, but at 3 1/2 she still requests it for some of the fun little games. I'm about ready to introduce it to my 14 month old son - It's great to have good beginner software out there.』
(Excellent first software) 『I'm a bit baffled by the negative reviews listed here. I used JumpStart Baby with my first son (now 4) and found it to be an excellent introduction to the world of computer software. The "dress teddy" and "color train" games provided months of fun. The fact is, babies can't mouse around (as in JumpStart Toddler) -- the best they can do is hit the keyboard and that is exactly how the games are designed to function: to respond with the next logical action when the keyboard is pressed. The comments regarding "waiting" are off-base.... if you think children hate to wait then this game is not nearly as frustrating as LeapPad products which are all "sit and listen" and very little "interact." I have just begun introducing the game to my 7 month old and he loves it! But's it's only appropriate in small doses at the beginning... still, with this softare, even before age one your child can learn that playing with computers is fun and that "something happens" when he/she presses buttons on the keyboard. What more do you want from a baby? (Note: I never encountered any of the installation problems mentioned by other reviewers.)』
(My kids ages 1 and 3 love it!) 『This is the second time I'm purchasing this software (the first disk got scratched). I bought it 3 years or so ago for my son. He used it from ages 9 months and now my daughter loves it. She loves the songs, animals and putting teddy "night-night," which makes it easier to stop playing when mom's had enough. My son enjoys helping his sister play the games now, which are simple enough to do on their own.』
(Would Not Install) 『Quite simply, the software would not install. Auto-run would run correctly, but clicking 'install' from the Jumpstart welcome screen resulted in nothing happening. A complete waste of money, since I threw out the packaging some time ago.』 『Introduce your little one to the wonderful world of learning with JumpStart Baby. Designed specifically for children 9 to 24 months old, JumpStart Baby encourages important developmental skills in an atmosphere of fun and musical merriment. Visit the friendly, inviting nursery as you explore eight different learning activities with Teddy, your animated host. With this program, your baby will discover shapes, music, colors, clothing, animals, and cause and effect.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Excellent resource for kid's development) 『I met this software through a co-worker. I am an educational psychologist and found it very interesting and helpful to work with kids. It has different levels and subjects so it is easy to find something that will capture the interest and motivate your child. I have already tried it with kids with autism and they have enjoyed it very much. It is really worth trying it!』
(Great software experience) 『First, I'd like to say, great and smooth transaction. As to the software it self, I am speachless. I never expected so much from kids software. Anyone who has kids must try this im my opinion.』
(TIK-TALK SOFTWARE FOR KIDS) 『I have a 3 years old son. Since I started playing Tik-Talk with him I must say that his language improved tremendously and every day when he gets back from pre-school he runs straight to the computer to play Tik-Talk.... I recommend it to all the parents out there... Thank You for making this game and for thinking about our children!!! Stavit, NY 』 『About the Interactive Clocks
