Editorial Review: Product Description: PANTONE huey is designed for calibrating and profiling all types of monitors - LCD and CRT. Each individual package includes a huey measurement device (emission only colorimeter) with ambient measurement capabilities, and software for monitor calibration.huey corrects the color on your monitor so photos and designs print more accurately, game graphics are more intense and movies are more true-to-life. Easy-to-use right out of the box, huey adapts your monitor for changing room lighting and applies your personal preferences for viewing accurate color all of the time. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Easy setup, too bad the results suckedEasy enough setup, easy enough to start the calibration, pretty to watch the colors flash on the screen, but the results had a horrible color cast. Checking the Pantone site showed it was a known issue, great. I sent in an incident as they requested, wound up calling in as well. I returned it for another, same problem. Turns out there was a batch of them bad, they knew about it and were waiting on replacements to go out to all us suckers who bought one. Great business model, product ...

Rating:  - Calibrating monitor makes a huge differenceBefore calibrating my monitors, it was very challenging to get a print to match the image I see on the monitor. The Huey calibration is very effective, and I can now be confident that even very subtle hues will look as expected on my prints. I have had no trouble with the huey sticking to the screen long enough for calibration on either CRT or LCD. I wish I had bought one sooner. Rating:  - Pantone Huey MEU101Was very easy to install and use. The monitor I'm trying it on however is a piece of junk apparently (Acer AL2016W). The biggest downside I've found is when working with a graphics program that supports color profiles (like photoshop) I was unsure whether to load the generated profile into the rgb preferences - the manual wasn't very in-depth in this area. Rating: - Don't buy for a Mac with LeopardIf you have a Mac running OS X 10.5 (Leopard), be advised that Pantone has been promising since last year to fix whatever is broken that prevents the use of the Huey. The company won't even respond when you ask support what is going on. They said the new installer would be available "early" in 2008. When I wrote an inquiry to the Pantone people on April 3 the automated reponse said it could take two to three days to reply. I'm still waiting. |
