 If you are a serious photographer / graphics artist, stay away July 1, 2008

I've got a brand new Macbook Pro, and a Dell 24" LCD. After calibration, the monitors had a disturbing shade of magenta on them. Tried to find workarounds... spent a lot of time... but no use. Scoured the Internet and found a lot of people have this problem.
It CANNOT deliver on it's number one promise: Accurate Color Calibration. The rest, therefore, doesn't matter. I don't care how good the software is, or how handy the tool is.
Please stay away.

 Didn't work on my laptop... not sure about external displays. June 23, 2008
I tried using the Huey Pro on my laptop LCD screen and was disappointed at the results. However, this is because during the calibration I was asked to adjust both brightness and contrast so that certain images were displayed a certain way on my screen, and I didn't/couldn't. On a laptop to change either of these is only accessible via software with your video card, and mine wont let me change contrast, only brightness. This being said, I look forward to trying this product on my external display as soon as I get a chance to hook it up again, but I wanted to warn others that might try to use this on a laptop. My results on my laptop resulted in the pinkish cast that so many people on here complain about, but since this is not a fault with the Pantone software but rather my inability to change my contrast I'm not blaming a bad product, yet. I am giving it 2 stars because they failed to point out that you may have this trouble on laptops despite advertising that it worked on laptops. I will re-review this product after trying it on my desktop monitor. I will point out that the setup and calibration process was fairly simple and straight forward.
Beware... June 4, 2008

I was looking forward to having (from what I had heard) a very good calibration system. Well, after installing it and running the calibrater it rendered a VERY magenta cast to my calibration. I tried everything to correct for this problem. After a couple wasted hours I came across the FAQ on Pantone's site and come to find out, it is much more common than they would like to admit. I submitted several tech support emails and have yet to hear back from them. I am returning it back to Amazon as defective product and let them deal with it. Don't buy it...spend more money or rely on your own eyes for a much more accurate rendition of color!
 good product, May 29, 2008
I wasn't expecting too much of a change and didn't get much because my color balances were close but it is nice to be sure. Now for getting the printing color to match!. Did find that one of my monitors is not so good. Huey is cheap and does what it advertises easily.
It works May 29, 2008
I'm very happy with it. I'm a professional photographer and have been looking for a reasonably priced calibrator. I can't do it with my eyes anymore, and feel like I don't get it right and also have desktop and laptop to synchronize. The product worked great, good to see good color. The only problem, is it is automatically set for 14 days to be recalibrated which I think is too soon, and then the reminder seems to pop on after a few days. There may be a way to set it but it does seem to keep color, just can't do the before and after compare.
I researched all the options and did not want to have to go with the $200-$300 and up calibrator and think this one seems to do the job. Have not tested it yet tho with printing at lab or inkjet.
