How to calibrate a monitor using Spyder5Pro and DisplayCAL

Datacolor's software isn't the best, but luckily it's easy to use your Spyder5 calibrator with the open-source DisplayCAL software instead. Here's how.

The Spyder5 range of display calibrators are great little tools for fine-tuning monitors for a better visual experience, but the accompanying software from Datacolor isn't the best option out there. Luckily, a fine community of developers continues to work on an open-source calibration suite called DisplayCAL (powered by ArgyllCMS), and it works with the Spyder5 range of calibrators. Here I run you through how to remove the Datacolor software and driver, install DisplayCAL and the necessary files and then get started.
