Pantone Pantone Huey

Reviewed by:

Strengths: Easy to use, fast, compact and accurate color.

Weaknesses: None at this price point.

Overall: I have several color calibration units costing from $250 to $1200 that I use on my work machines. This creates a profile that is 90-95% as good as my $1200 unit for less than $100. If you need multi-monitor profiling, get the Huey Pro which I also use.

Strengths: Don't Know

Weaknesses: Won't Support Dual Monitors

Overall: One of the main reasons I bought this product was to help get my monitors looking more alike. I use them as one wide screen and the colors are slightly different on each. Below is what I found on Pantone's support site AFTER buying and trying the product:PANTONE huey is not designed to calibrate multiple monitors attached to the same computer. If you have dual monitors and your video card supports multiple monitor calibrations, you should check out the higher-end display calibrators such as the Eye-One®Display 2 or Eye-One®Display LT.

Strengths: Compact, ease of use, good price, does the wonders

Overall: I am so glad to see the difference that this Huey can make after calibrating the monitor with it. In the past, such kind of accessories cost a lot more. For less than one hundred, I think it is one of the best accessories if you are serious with digital photography or at least you want do some good adjustments on your digital pictures. The calibration is easy to carry out. And the result is amazing ? you know exactly (or very close) what you can get after the photo is printed.

Strengths: small and cheap

Weaknesses: rubber sticky pads don't gripodd colors

Overall: I think I like this, but it takes some getting used to. Once the auto color/lighting compensation kicks in, everything on the CRT looks kind of "washed out." OTOH, I think it's supposed to! Also, to recalibrate, you have to stick this on the monitor (literally) with the rubber suction cups build on to the back of this. I found that after a few days, they wouldn't grip unless you wet them. Then you have to clean the glass afterward.
