Yes I'm aware I can just Google/YouTube but I am just too darn lazy atm. Your reply would help many of us lazy folks greatly.

This means it can not read the dark colors on VA type LCDs, it does not work AT ALL on OLED / CRT/ Plasma, as these have near true black.
Using it for projectors is a "maybe" but not a good idea.
These also do not work with spectro-corrections, not future proof for different/new color chemistries.
What can it do, well it works with the majority of IPS panels, and that's about it.
The manufacturer "claims" these work with many other technologies, this is true only in their own software which attaches fake data to the dark colorations the probe can't read. So they fake it.
In displaycal the most popular software for these probes, what you end up with is clipping, big blotches of dark colors where shadow detail should be.
The X-rite i1 studio/ pro colorimeters are way overpriced now due to covid, but they can read all panel technologies, down to 0.003 nit.

They don't work and they haven't updated their website to say it. I wasted tons of time trying to figure out why it wasn't working before support finally admitted it's not compatible.
As a photographer, you really need a very good monitor to get the colors right when post processing photos. Monitor are set to default setting and not for color accuracy so that's where the SpyderX comes in. I have been using one for about 10 years and believe me, it makes a difference.
