Datacolor has launched a limited-time promotion offering photographers and visual professionals a significant discount on its latest range of Spyder monitor calibration tools. The new Spyder Obsolescence Upgrade programme allows users of any previous-generation Spyder device—working or not—to claim up to 30% off a new model from the current Spyder X2 range.
The programme is open to owners of Spyder 1 through to Spyder X. Datacolor is accepting old units regardless of their operational condition, recognising the long lifespan and widespread adoption of its earlier models. This offer aims to encourage users to upgrade to the brand’s latest hardware, which includes improvements in speed, precision, and support for HDR and high-brightness displays.
With display technology evolving rapidly, Datacolor’s initiative highlights the importance of accurate colour calibration in today’s high-resolution workflows. The Spyder X2 Elite and Spyder X2 Ultra, introduced in 2023, are compatible with a broader range of displays, offer faster calibration times, and feature a redesigned software interface for streamlined usability.
Users interested in the upgrade can submit a short form on the Datacolor website, after which they’ll receive a discount code. There’s no need to return the old device—Datacolor operates on an honour system for this promotion, relying on the community’s integrity.
The offer is valid globally and is available until 31 March 2026, making it a timely opportunity for photographers, designers, and video editors to ensure their screens reflect true-to-life colours with the most up-to-date calibration technology.
