There ya go! my spyder has served me well over the years. For super accurate color you're supposed to recalibrate every few weeks, but every 2-4 months is generally "close enough for government work"
only other thing to consider is knowing your monitor's responsiveness to whites and blacks. Some monitors lose their flexibility in those ranges, so for example, everything 92% up to 100% white will simply show as white. All the calibrating in the world wont fix that, all you can do is know your monitor and how well it responds. (take a photo and make it really bright, then compare it on your monitor and any friend with a high end calibrated display. That's how you can figure out the difference). My laptop is HORRID at this... I avoid any kind of photo processing on it because everything looks blown out, even though it's not.
