Lea If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you were going to upgrade I would consider taking the plunge to a package that could calibrate not only the monitor, but the camera, scanner, and printer as well. That's not going to be cheap. Still if you aren't seeing a change and are happy with what you are getting then I see little if any benefit to an upgrade.

Is it recommended to upgrade monitor calibration tools on any sort of schedule?
I currently use a Monaco Optix XR package that I've had for a number of years....five or six.
Do these things go bad or shift in their ability to calibrate over time?
Not seeing a change, just curious as I've never read a thing about what kind of a life expectancy to anticipate.
Thanks.
