Customer Reviews:
Works well, but fussy and will not calibrate more than 1 monitor , 2008-08-15
I bought a Huey to use for calibrating my work LCDs. I have a dual monitor set-up and do a lot of graphics and photography work. It's important to me that what is displayed on my monitor translates to what comes out the printer.
Overall, the Huey performs well enough. Reading some of the older, negative reviews, it's pretty clear that Pantone has VASTLY improved their software. All I had to do was install the software (which curiously prompts you to restart after installation even thought it is not necessary. I've verified this on several other computers in my office), stick the Huey to the center of the screen, and a few minutes later, the screen is accurately colored. It was easy, well laid out in the instructions, and about as simple as I can imagine it being.
Pros:
Works to get fairly accurate color representation out of your monitor. However, it will NOT make your cheap LCD into a high quality one. If you want accurate colors, calibration is only part of the equation. You cannot expect a cheap LCD to reproduce color as accurately as a quality LCD.
The ambient light adjustment feature is great. I sit near a window, and having the gamma adjusted regularly as the light changes is very, very, useful.
Cons:
Fussy. The software prompts a calibration every two weeks or so, and if you decline, it prompts you again the next day. Adds a icon to your system tray. I recommend disabling this using msconfig.exe Unless you like calibrating your monitor all the time and focus stealing prompts on a daily basis.
Cannot adjust more than one monitor at a time. I found this out after purchasing it and was very disappointed that it cannot adjust my second monitor.
Cheapish USB wire. Very thin.
Overall, it does what it should, and I'm happy enough with it. I guess I'll have to spend more to get a version that supports dual monitors.
