The Spyder2 does not measure wide gamut display colors quite as accurately as the Spyder3 does (though its better at this than, say, the Huey). If you already own a Spyder2, try it on your new display, and see if you are satisfied with the results. But do this QUICKLY, as the user loyalty upgrade offer on Spyder3Elite is ending shortly.

Is the SPyder3 a software upgrade or the hardware is different?

Both the hardware and the software are significantly improved... take a look at our website to see more about it.

Ah yes... thats the problem with our website offers, they aren't worldwide. Its only in North America that the upgrade program I mentioned is running. I'll check with our European headquarters, and find out what they are doing there...

Unless you know something that the web site does not, the offer ended 
January 19.  http://www.colorvision.com/newsletter/s3e-loyalty.html.
