 Easy setup, too bad the results sucked July 14, 2008
Easy 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 is defective, but rather than recall them and lose sales, sell the broken product and force a user investment in time hoping they'll just wait it out.
Returned it and bought a Spyder3. Bought the Huey late May, was told July 1st a replacement would be on it's way, got an e-mail on the 3rd it would be the 21st at least. So sorry.
Basic Colorimeter June 4, 2008
Huey is a basic colorimeter, opt for the Pro upgrade for software and multiple monitor support.
 Calibrating monitor makes a huge difference May 19, 2008
Before 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.
 Pantone Huey MEU101 May 9, 2008
Was 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.
Don't buy for a Mac with Leopard May 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If 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.
