I recently calibrated my mbp with spyder and was wondering if I hooked up the mbp to an external monitor, do I have to recalibrate with the external display?
Got a tip for us?

So I have to recalibrate my display each and every time I disconnect and reconnect the external display? What a pain in the ass... haha
No, I don't think you do. You just do it once for each, because when i have my macbook connected to an external, it has a different wallpaper. I don't really know if that's relevant or not. I just said that because I always figured that meant the macbook saw it as a display with different settings. And yes, it is when the clamshell is closed. But, this reply could make no sense and I just sound like a dumbass, haha.
you should have a calibrated profile for each display you use. usually once you set up a profile to a monitor, the MBP will automatically use that profile for that monitor every time you hook up to it. you do NOT need to re-calibrate every time you connect them.
having said that you should re-calibrate every monitor and laptop every month or so
