Different Color Shades on new screen

Used to work in newspaper and we had to use the spyder around once a month.

Did the monitor change that much month to month or where they just being overly causcious?

I think you've conflated 2 monitor calibration devices there. There is a DataColor Spyder Pro and a Pantone ColourMunki (or Huey which has been retired).

And seeing how Xara products are no color managed, likely there will be color differences, even with a calibrated monitor compare to a previous monitor.

And it could be that the computer was set up using a profile that is in itself incorrect or defective. Happens.

If you do spring for color calibration software, do use a color-managed application to do so with and to check the results, not an Xara product.
