Pantone huey™ (874086001967)

Pros: Low price and ease of use

Cons: none

Review: If you have been taking digital pictures for more than a year, you probably have already mastered red eye correction, horizon alignment, uploading photos and email attachment. If you have become concerned that the colors of the images printed on your ...

Pros: Easy to use and set up and inexpensive.

Cons: I wish I knew about it sooner.

Review: My monitor never looks right to me- no matter how much I adjust it. It looks good for one photo, but then something else will look awful. My prints never matched what was on-screen and I was about ready to hang up my digital photo hat. After using huey, ...

Pros: Easy-to-use. Looks cool, everyone asks about it. Unobtrusive. The ambient light is perfect.

Cons: I wish I would have gotten this sooner instead of wasting time, ink.

Review: I was having problems matching colors on my monitor to my printer. I would usually fix red-eye, make an adjustment here and there and print. The prints were way off what my monitor was showing me. I purchased huey at the local Circuit City, plugged it ...

Pros: It does a fine job of correcting color deterioration and ambient light correction.

Cons: The instructions are a bit confusing.

The Bottom Line: Deterioration is a slow, almost undetecable process until it gets really bad. Regular recalibration will keep your monitor young.

Review: Last year, I could no longer avoid the symptoms; my eyes were not what they were. I suspected cataracts and a visit to an ophthalmologist confirmed it. After lens replacement surgery, I discovered just how much my vision had deteriorated. The world took ...

Pros: Inexpensive, accurate enough to satisfy my discerning eye, and it adapts to ambient lighting, $79!

Cons: Uber-thin cord, doesn't "sleep" when the monitor powers down, no no-skid bottom.

The Bottom Line: For the price, it's impossible to say anything bad about it. It performs as advertised, and this makes up for all shortcomings.

Review: First, let me start by discussing the problems with Huey. Don't think I'm bashing the little guy, I'm just getting the downside out of the way first. It's small and cheap. Meaning that it's easily knocked aside. It rests in a base to monitor ambient ...

Pros: Inexpensive, ease-of-use, good software, good ergonomics

Cons: Marginally useful, Single-Monitor support only

The Bottom Line: Reasonably useful product for managing color on photographic images.

Review: Here's the deal: The Pantone Huey is a small device that helps correct and display "accurate" color on your computer's monitor. That's the short version. The longer version is that this little tool has turned out to be only marginally useful in ...

Pros: Great color management, super easy on most monitors at a great price!

Cons: Has iBook LCD issues...

The Bottom Line: Beware profiles that are too warm though visually pleasing, expect problems with some laptops.

Review: Update!!! As an update, I have decided to return this item. Why? While I thought my monitor calibrations were beautiful other than on my iBook, I started looking at some prints from calibrated labs using ICC profiling. I looked at prints from ...
