Summary: Works as expected
Comment: It's easy to use and does exactly what it says it will do. It took only a couple of minutes to set it up.

Initially, the first calibration failed, but then I paid closer attention to the very clear instructions, and it worked. I set it up to re-calibrate based on the ambient light in the room every 5 minutes. It works great. I'm very pleased with the results.

Summary: Okay but not for the MacBook
Comment: I do light photo editing on a Mac Mini or sometimes on a MacBook. On the Mini I use a Samsung LCD monitor and the Huey has worked very well. I got my Huey at Circuit City as a closeout so the price was right. Calibration was simple and quick. Post calibration I no longer have any surprises when printing a photograph. Occasionally I'll edit a photo on the road using the MacBook. Calibrating MacBook's screen doesn't work out so well. Post calibration the MacBook screen has a heavy greenish cast. If you are using a MacBook this is not the Colorimeter to buy otherwise this is a good unit.

Summary: pass on this one
Comment: Ok, so I had to get a colorimeter and went with this one. I should have spent more money on a better one. This one didn't evenly meter my screen. I actually had to manually recalibrate my screen after using this.
Now after installing this program on my computer i get a popup all the time telling me it's time to recalibrate my monitor with the Huey. I don't have a way to turn this off, and I can't open the program up in the controls panel due to "an error with the program" So now I'm stuck with this crappy software. Don't get this colorimeter spend the extra money and get a spyder.

Summary: Not Quite What I Expected...
Comment: I bought this because I made a web page on my laptop and when I uploaded it to the web and looked at it from another computer all the colors were way off. I was hoping that this Huey would make it so all my monitors were the same color. It did correct the color on my Asus laptop and brought it closer to the color of my other monitors. I ran it on 3 computers all next to each other and all 3 monitors have slightly different colors.

Summary: not work on macbook pro
Comment: when i calibrated my mac book, it's quite okay, but looks a bit blue. i thought coz i'm too stuck in my previous screen color. Went to the system preference, wanna play with the Huey preference. It turned out Huey dosen't WORK in Intel-based MAC....what kind the program doesn't work on Intel-based MAC????

Everything becomes more accurate and predictable: digital photos just as you remember the scene, game graphics that give you the intense edge you're after, movies with brilliant life-like color and a Web-browsing experience that delivers colors that you can trust. huey is easy to use on any CRT, LCD and laptop monitor for the best possible color. Pantone's Huey is essential for digital photographers, designers, desktop publishers, gamers and any computer users who need absolute color and clarity.
