Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Huey PRO is designed for calibrating and profiling multiple LCD and CRT monitors. It's an ideal solution for advanced photo enthusiasts and gamers who want advanced control over ambient light, white point and gamma combinations, but not a degree in color science. Huey PRO's increased color accuracy combined with the ability to calibrate multiple monitors delivers the solution you need to accurately view your images. With its customizable point and gamma combinations, enhanced LCD calibration and advanced help, the Huey PRO is the answer to your color needs.Color in your photos. Color in your designs. And it all starts with accurate color on your screen. Photographers understand that a color-managed workflow is essential to obtain true color from capture, to edit, to print; but what you see on-screen is only as accurate as your display. Over time, the color performance of monitors changes - phosphors and liquid crystals fade, causing the display to drift into unknown colors. Huey PRO automatically brings back the true colors, so whether you are editing photos to print, sell or share with others, gaming or shopping on-line, you deserve to see the right color on your display.The Huey PRO delivers extensive controls in an affordable, easy-to-use solution designed to calibrate and profile all types of LCD and CRT displays. The Huey PRO's optical sensors provide the same accurate on-screen color that used to only be available to professionals, plus automatically measures the ambient light within a room for precision calibration. Even after the calibration process, Huey PRO will observe the light falling on the display and apply your personal preferences for viewing accuracy, any time of day.

Well worth it! 19 Oct 2007
I've been using a dual-monitor setup for quite a while, using a Philips and a Sony LCD. I've never been able to match the colours of the two monitors, and believe me I've tried! The situation got worse when I upgraded to Vista. For some reason ATI's Vista graphics driver made everything look washed out. Out of desperation I decided to get a screen calibrator. I found lots of reviews online for Pantone's Huey and ColorVision's Spyder range. The basic packages don't support dual-monitors so I either needed the Huey Pro or the Spyder 2 Suite. After reading reviews I settled on the Huey Pro, partly because of one glowing review in particular, and also because the device itself is a lot more compact than the Spyder. I have to say, it really worked miracles. Flicking between the corrected and uncorrected modes really shows how unnatural the default colours are. And more importantly, my two LCDs now look ALMOST identical. A lot of people didn't like the automatic room lighting compensation, but I find it quite useful. I'm an avid gamer and none of my games had any problems with it. It can be switched off anyway.

UPDATE: I recently made a move to reclaim my desk-space by selling the 2 19" LCDs and buying a 22" Samsung instead. The default settings on the Samsung gave a horrible blue tint to everything. Whilst it is of course possible to adjust this manually it will never be as accurate as when corrected by proper callibrator. The Huey Pro did an amazing job.

Works Well for Me.... 28 Feb 2009
By DF
Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently did a photography course where the instructor asked us all to stand at the back of the room. First he asked us if the greys on each of our monitors looked the same (we all had the same Nikon software open) - they didn't. Then he asked us how much we'd spent on camera equipment over the last few years (most of us has spent in excess of £1,000 on DSLR kit). He told us if we were that interested digital photography then we should all at a minimum invest in a monitor calibration device. This was one of the two products he recommended.

I've been using mine for a week now - and am very happy with it. Thankfully my dual monitors weren't that out of sync - but you can also set the software and the sensor to adjust your monitors each minute according to the lighting in the room. Which is very useful if you edit photos at different times of day in different lighting conditions.

Overall, I'm very happy with this item and would recommend it to anyone who is a DSLR photography fan. In particular, if you've ever got digital prints and thought "the colours looked different on my PC" - you should buy this device!

Worked for me, nice and quick to use with easy installation and well thought out process for calibration. Prints now look the same as on screen and images in Photoshop look the same as the Windows image viewer.

Only reservation is that I have to turn off all lights in the room to prevent an orange colour cast (seems to be an issue with energy saving light bulbs), not a huge problem but worth looking out for.

I don't have any experience with other calibration products but am happy to recommend this one.

Monitor Calibration done right
The most bang for the buck in monitor calibration. If you're going to use it on a single monitor, you can buy the non-Pro version. Small and beautiful hardware.
