 I cann see cleearrly noww...the blue is gonne..., 2008-03-08
I had a blue hue to my monitor (HP W2207) that I had a hard time completely removing in the months after purchase. Loved the monitor for every other reason but the color temp never seemed to be quite right no matter what I tried. Close but not quite. Bought the eye-one and WHAMMO! within 15 minutes I was done. Monitor is just gorgeous now and matches my prints almost exactly. Very happy with the performance and cost of the Eye One. The downside is I now notice how badly my TV is calibrated after getting off the PC.

 WARNING: Amazon is shipping the wrong thing!, 2008-02-26
I guess this is a review for the product Amazon sent me as opposed to the product listed on this page . . . unfortunately they were not the same thing.
Amazon twice sent me the cheaper and discontinued model EODLT eye-one display lt (light) instead of the model EODIS2 that is pictured and described. They then issued a refund and temporarily removed the listing so that they could check stock, or at least that's what I was told. I am not sure they actually have the EODIS2, and Amazon is charging a lot less than this for the EODLT in other listings. If you look at the discussion below you'll see this has happened to a few of us. So use caution ordering this directly from Amazon.
(As for the i1 display 2 itself, I got one from a different online retailer, and it seems to work quite nicely, I'd give it 4 or 5 stars.)
Update: At the time I bought this it was listed as the display 2. Since then it's twice been merged into other listings, along with the reviews and comments from those listings. I do see a recent review in this listing saying the same thing is still happening, so take a good look at the box that arrives from Amazon.

I finally found one that worked!, 2008-02-11
I started out with another companies calibrator (Hint: Dewey and Louie's brother) and found that one did not work on my Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with the high-definition glossy screen.
I researched more and found the X-Rite had worked on other Dell laptops. So, I decided to give it a try. It worked like a charm.
I must say that this device has made all the difference in my photography post processing. I do not print my own photos but use a National camera chain store to do all of my printing. Everything looks more like the printed photos than before.
Using it was easy. I installed the software and ran it. Answered a few questions and waited. It took all of about 15-20 minutes to install and run the calibration. I have it set to remind me every four weeks to run the calibration again.
I love it and would recommend it anyone, but primarily to all Dell laptop users, especially those with the glossy screen.

It works great!, 2008-02-11
I used this to calibrate a three year old 19" Viewsonic LCD with a TN panel, a Hanns-G HX-191DPB 19" LCD, a Dell D400 and a Dell D410 laptop. Each one took about a half hour to set up the software and calibrate. All screens look amazing. I did, however, find the need to employ a 3-foot USB extension cable for my desktop, being that the box is rather far from the monitor. Most people will not need the extension.
I chose to do the "easy" method and the "advanced" method to see the difference. After viewing both, I have to say that I find no need to do the "advanced" method again. In the future, I will use the "easy" calibration choice.
NOTE: At the end of the process, be sure to un-check the box that states it will remind you daily or weekly to recalibrate your monitor. That sure is annoying.
The colors on my monitor are now warmer and more true. Being that I have TN panel on all screens, I am very happy that I have the colors I do, for I am only seeing about 72% gamut.
Before the calibration I used the Color Index 2: Over 1500 New Color Combinations: For Print and Web Media: Cmyk and Rgb Formulas to see how far out my colors were. I chose a brown-blue-orange-red mix and typed in the numbers from the page. I wasn't even close! After calibration I typed in the same numbers and held the book up to the screen: now I was very close on all but the brown, which was only slightly out. Not bad for a 30-minutes process that required little to no input from me.
Now, the other reviewers that complained about the instructions are right: it expects a lot from you as a user. You must have a general understanding of what you are doing in order to make it happen. That's not to say it is completely lacking or impossible to figure out, but I could see where some people may have a problem or two. The manual is very basic. VERY basic. Ultra-minimalistic is a better way of putting it.
I highly recommend this product to everyone that has a monitor and USB port.

Great, easy to use and learn product., 2007-06-05
There isn't much to really say about this product other than it does exactly what it say it will, does it relatively quickly, and potentially has nothing for you to learn before initial use. I had five monitors to calibrate; all LCDs except for one laptop display, four of them associated with dual monitored systems, mixed on both Windows XP and Windows Vista. I had all five calibrated within 20 minutes of opening the package, and reading nothing more than the quick start flyer; the software wizard in Easy Mode literally did everything in 4 steps without much input from me. On the monitor I perform a lot of graphic work on, I switched to the advanced mode and found the software to be just as intuitive and complete as it was in easy mode. Great product.
