 Pantone Is Screwing Up on HueyPro May 14, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered a HueyPro to calibrate my monitors. HueyPro had been advertised in photography magazines and seemed well-reviewed. When I received and installed it, it was defective (produced a red hue on both computers/monitors I used it on). I contacted Pantone, who said they are having trouble with defective HueyPro's, and that I should follow the instructions on their help site to get a replacement. Three weeks, two email follow-ups and two phone calls later, I have yet to receive a response from any complaint, or a replacement HueyPro. They keep saying they are "going to ship the replacements." How do they expect to stay in business with product quality and customer service like this?
Don't buy it.
 well worth the money May 10, 2008
the Huey pro produces reasonably accurate profiles. I have never used a professional colorimeter, but have used an early, inexpensive version of the Spyder and Photocal and "Huey is a noticable improvement. I use it with a Dell 2707 WPf. the Huey's main short coming is profilng contrast/brightness. I still have to manually adust these with more than tweaks. On my monitor the Huey sends the contrast/brightness in the wrong direction. Colors are very good and consistant.
Great product May 8, 2008
The Huey Pro does a really great job of calibrating your monitor with almost no effort on your part. Follow the very easy to understand on-screen instructions and your monitor is callibrated fairly well in minutes. This doesn't quite to the job of the more expensive units costing three times as much, but for the price, this unit can't be beat.
Questionable quality April 15, 2008
I bought the Pantone Huey Pro to get all the computers I use at my job to be accurate. While the images they display all look the same now, what I see is NOT what I get. Yes it's easy to use but if you still can't make accurate prints based on what you see on your monitor, what's the point of buying something that is supposed to calibrate it?
I waited a long time before buying something to calibrate the monitors I use because all the reviews of the affordable units were poor. And for my money, this unit is deserving of the same bad reviews as the units that came before it.
Compatibility problems with MacBook and LCD screens April 15, 2008
Well done product overall, with great accessories and software. Unfortunately, it was not compatible with my MacBook (2007 edition) or with a Samsung LCD screen (SyncMaster 152T). On both screens, the collor correction resulted in a reddish/pinkish screen. Even turning the huey sideways during the calibration process (recommended on some web sites) did not fix this problem. It appears that the anti-glare coating on both screens creates problems for huey's color detection. I returned the product to Amazon and received a refund without any hassels.
