I am a freelance web/graphic designer, and I have really come to appreciate my Pantone Huey. I work on several machines, and that is where the Huey becomes invaluable. All of my screens are calibrated in a mater of minutes just about perfectly. At first, after my initial calibrations, I thought the picture looked a little washed out. But then after using the machine with a corrected profile, I realized that I can now see subtle details (like subtle paper textures) on screen that I wasn't able to see clearly previously. It is a fantastic little device that really increases the production quality of my work substantially. If you are a digital photographer, this is a must, as it allows you to see you images on screen exactly as they should print. (Assuming your printer is Pantone calibrated as well.) Definitely a 5-star product! I hope this is helpful!

Simple set up and easy to use. Made a huge difference in my photo editing results.

If you're expecting to make a big project out of calibrating your monitor, you'll be happily underwhelmed. The Huey runs easily right out of the box (I've got Win 7 64-bit) and took a couple of minutes to calibrate the screen. It adjusts your monitor automatically for changes in ambient light, and I've noticed that my display is darker than I had it set previously; that takes a little getting used to. But if it means my photographic prints are truer to life, I can cope!

It does the job but is not as advanced as some of the other profiling hardware out there.

I bought this product to calibrate a Macbook. I followed the procedures very carefully, and tried many times, but could not make any improvement to the colors. Actually the profiles that it created, made the colors worse. Blues became purple, orange became dark yellow, etc. I tried to get help from Pantone, but nobody answered the emails I sent. So, since the product can not be returned, i recommend that you look at another product.

Very quick install and setup. Calibrated the monitor and clicked on a 'before and after' view of the changes. Could see a subtle, but distinct difference. I used this on a very new Dell 24" flat screen. I haven't printed yet, but plan to soon. Then, I'll know for sure how accurate this is.

Has worked well for me. Made a huge difference on my laptop. At first, I thought the colors were really out of whack after calibrating. It looked dull and green. However, after comparing with some prints, I realized how far out my colors were originally. I am now quite close to actual.

On my desktop with a Viewsonic LCD, the calibration came out WAY too bright. When you calibrate an LCD, the software does not prompt you to adjust the brightness and contrast. But I discovered that I needed to turn the brightness way down in the monitor setup to make it reasonable. The colors came out good, it's just the brightness and contrast that are off.

I use this product to calibrate my monitors for digital photography editing.It was dead easy to set up. I have confidence that the end printed product will now look the same as my display. My only drawback was I found it difficult to calibrate two monitors running off of one computer and would have liked a bit more instruction.

The Huey colorimeter is very easy to install and use. The improvement in computer/monitor/printer communication of colors is incredible.

I've been using Huey for a year and a half to calibrate my LCD monitor. It significantly improved my experience of editing my own photographs, and viewing those of others. I've used it under XP on my workstation and under Mac OSX on my wife's laptop when on the road. I feel that investing into this little gadget was well worth it.

works great for my external PC monitor. nice, neutral grays.

but on my macbook's built-in LCD, the initial calibrations gave the screen a sick, greenish tint. a few online forums suggested mounting the sensor sideways on the screen instead of vertical. that did the trick, and now my macbook is pretty darn close in color when compared to the external monitor.

great product, after a little fiddling.

Perfectly supported under Linux with Argyll.

Using it for monitor calibration.

Comments about Pantone Huey Colorimeter Monitor Profile Solution:

Painless to use. Very easy to calibrate (about 5 minutes) and it keeps track of the light levels in the room to adjust brighness automatically. I love that feature. Well worth the money.

Comments about Pantone Huey Colorimeter Monitor Profile Solution:

After a few months the unit failed. It began giving everything a green cast. I called Huey and they said they were aware of the problem and sent me a replacement. The replacement also failed after a few months.

Expertise: Advanced amateur photographer

Problems Encountered: See above.

I've been using mine for a little less then a year with no problems.

Problems Encountered: Just recently my computer crashed and i bought a new one with Windows Vista. When i went to install Huey, it said the program won't work with Vista. gotta call the company and see if there's updates or anything. i don't want to use another $100-250 on another calibrator

After all of the glowing reviews on this inexpensive device,the old adage comes to mind...you get what you pay for. Worthless on multiple monitors and questionable on single,this unit does not appear to calibrate any better (in myopinion) than Adobe Gamma and on multiple monitor usage theGamma corrected seems more accurate.

Remember the cardinal rule of any product to be sold: Experience your product the way your customer does. Doall of your customers have Huey color correction softwarerunning on their computers? If yes, proceed. If not, thendo NOT buy this product. It will modify your colors so muchthat only you and other Huey users will like what you see. Everybody else will think it looks horrible.

Problems Encountered: Removes detail and contrast. Even when set up not to.
