 - Another pink/magenta screenSo you've read a bunch of people say it turned their screens pink. I am also one of those people. What am I using: 2 x 23-inch Apple Cinema displays Canon Pro9000 printer with Apple Aperture 2/Adobe Photoshop CS in between. Serious photographer here, consistently frustrated with my on-screen color vs. printed color when using Huey Pro, I deactivated the Huey profiles and calibrated using my eyes and the internal calibration system of Mac OSX. Results are not perfect, but much more accurate than Huey. Now I am looking for a device that actually WORKS. Summary: waste of time and $$; don't bother Rating: - Utterly useless. A quality-control nightmare.I'm normally not so negative on a product, but this really is one of the worst I've used. No matter what I did, my MacBook Pro and Apple 23" Cinema Display ended up looking pinkish/brown. I've read numerous reports of this, but still took the plunge. I've also read of people getting slightly different results between identical Hueys, so clearly this device is not being tested correctly. In any case, the product may in fact work if you get a GOOD one, but since that's a risk nobody wants to take, there's no possible way to recommend this device. I since bought a Spyder2 and have had nothing but joy from it. Stay away. Rating: - Color cast with Heuy ProWhen I set up my monitor with the Heuy Pro, it produced a magenta color cast to the screen. I found a help page on the Pantone site that admits this is a fault in some units. They assure me that they will send me another unit after I fill out an on-line form. Here's hoping! Rating: - Terrible, terrible, terribleI had the same problem as everybody else who had a problem, the whole monitor turned pink. I should have listened but didn't. Returning was easy with Amazon and free so no real harm done, just a waste of time. Rating:  - It turned my screen pink. Not good color rendition on first try.I installed. Easy installation. I calibrated the device and checked the color against a picture with and without control. Without looked better. The screen had a pink background. I will try on another LCD to see if it is different. Still undecided.
