Accurate and easy to use.
This Color analyzer saved me lots of $$$$ when I had to fight my HOA about paint color for the outside of my house. I was able to analyze all neighborhood colors that didn't seem to match the allowable color scheme. After submitting my data provided by Nix the HOA board had to revisit my color submissions or face legal action.

Accurate but terrible app
I was going to give this 3 stars because of the terrible app but the device itself is so accurate and consistent, I can't. Word of warning, if you are going to use this to scan multiple patches in batch, it's a nightmare with the app. The only way to scan a collection of colors is to create a collection and the problem is, it forces you to type a color name and a color code for every single patch. Manually. There's no way to just have it auto-name if you want to just scan patches and number them. There's a Pro app that looks like it could do that but that's $99/mo which is really shady!

Highly accurate, quick results!
I love this product! It’s small, accurate and easy to use, and instantly gives me the exact Sherwin Williams (or other manufacturers) color.

Great Value
So far the battery life has out done the previous portable spectro we had(Spectro 1 by Variable). The readings have been consistent and make sense in the context of what is being scanned, as well as re-reads of previous runs/masters being run. I.E. We run a color again a month later and these readings haven't drifted from the readings from a month ago. The visual charts used in the app to show color space help with seeing the differences in color in addition to the LAB numeric differences.

An impressive device that will take time to learn to use
Nix is one of the leading companies that provides color matching tools for professionals. I have never used a spectrophotometer before, but I needed a device that will allow me to match all of the different colors of paint that are used in my home. I want to touch up several areas without repainting the entire walls or rooms, so the only way to do this is to be able to match my existing colors perfectly. This Nix Spectro L is definitely overkill for how I intend to use it. It has many more features and capabilities than I will take advantage of in the near future, but I hope over time I will find other ways to use this sophisticated tool. I will add more to this review after I have used it for a few months and I am more familiar with its capabilities.

Pretty close match!
I'm cautiously optimistic for this unit. Pro colorimeters are thousands of dollars, but this one just might be the ticket. I'm a graphics guy by trade, so I need to color match past projects often, especially when switching equipment or programs. The unit seems fairly accurate, at least enough to get me in the ballpark with CMYK and cRGB where I can fine tune my files from there. What I don't like is it doesn't like to remember what I had the presets saved to (CMYK/cRGB) and it defaults to a measurement unit that is useless to me. Happens every time I start it up (which, by the way, can take some doing - the app doesn't always find the reader, so I wind up restarting my phone). Still testing it's limits, but I have hopes. It does work better on matte surfaces than gloss, so keep that in mind.

Too big
I bought the correct size 55-65” (my tv is 65”) and still there is a lot of excess in the corners that k had to pin down with tape and zip ties in order to then the corners not to show from the front of the tv. I even checked to make sure I got the correct size and I did so the design isn’t awesome.

Smart and sensitive sensor
I've been doing construction for a while, and sometimes I have problem with matching colors in some cases which I can't find the same color to do some retouch in rooms, so I have to take a piece of the color to Home Depot, but now I do color match with this device, and made my whole life easier. The sensor is very sensitive, so as soon as I put the device on wall, it shows it on my phone which has an app. Strongly recommend it.

For ensuring consistent and correct colour accuracy every single time, the Nix Spectro L is an excellent choice. It's small, very accurate, it connects to apps on your phone, and it comes in a pretty substantial carrying case. It's a very expensive product, yes, but considering the market and usual prices for these kinds of products it does seem more than fair. If you run a small business where colour accuracy is important then something like the Nix Spectro L is a no-brainer.

Liegt durch sein Gewicht gut in der Hand und scheint relativ genau zu sein.

As I'm developing my new YouTube channel, maintaining precise brand colour consistency across everything from digital motion graphics to printed materials is absolutely critical. I needed a professional-grade tool to eliminate guesswork, and the Nix Spectro L has been phenomenal. It's a serious piece of kit that delivers laboratory-level accuracy in a compact, handheld device. Getting started was incredibly straightforward. The device paired instantly with the Nix Toolkit app on my phone, and the app itself is well-designed and intuitive. It provides a huge amount of data without being overwhelming, allowing you to easily switch between measurement modes and get instant readings for CMYK, RGB, HEX, and LAB values, which is exactly what's needed for a hybrid digital and print workflow. The accuracy is where this device truly shines. I've used it to scan physical colour swatches and instantly get the exact digital data to use in my video editing software, ensuring a perfect match between my physical and digital brand assets. The Delta-E function is a game-changer for quality control, allowing me to numerically compare a new print run against my master colour standard to see if it's within an acceptable tolerance. The inclusion of M0, M1, and M2 measurement modes is a key professional feature, giving me confidence that I'm getting accurate readings regardless of the paper stock or the presence of optical brighteners. The ability to compare scans against the major colour libraries like Pantone and RAL is incredibly useful. For my own brand, I've created a custom library within the app. Now, I can scan any material a t-shirt, a business card, a sticker and instantly check if the colour is a perfect match to my brand guidelines. It has completely streamlined my quality control process. The Nix Spectro L is a powerful, portable, and remarkably easy-to-use spectrophotometer. It's a significant investment, but for any creative professional, graphic designer, or brand manager who is serious about colour accuracy and consistency, it's an invaluable tool. It provides the data and the confidence needed to ensure your colours are perfect, every single time.

When I received this I read that it needed charging. This took about 4 hours. The idea was to charge it until the light went green to say it was fully charged and then it would connect to the app. However there isn't any basic buttons on it so trying to connect it by leaving it to charge then trying to connect was frustrating when nothing would work . Eventually I read that sometimes they need a reset so I pressed the reset button using a paper clip. It still wouldn't connect, but I did see it show under Bluetooth this time, so I tried to connect to that. It didn't. However magically the app was able to connect. Unsure if this process is what woke it up but it was annoying. Once it had connected everything worked flawlessly. Placing the end onto a surface and clicking the measurement button, it returned a colour value for whatever it touched. Clean results are given if you can place the object over the sensor without gaps and if it's a translucent item then put a dark backing on it. This stops other lights interfering. I tried this on some paint as I needed to patch part of a wall. The colour value result was given and I took this to the shop to have the colour mixed. I was surprised when it was spot on. Very useful device.
