Pantone huey Pro MEU113

Pantone huey Pro MEU113 Review

I learned about this product through a photography site. I was viewing and editing a lot of digital photographs and It was recommended that my monitor be calibrated. The first unit that was sent to me was defective and gave me a pink cast. Pantone replaced it for free. The new unit has been working fine for the last few years. The unit is sleek and easy to calibrate. Calibration should be done every few weeks or maybe longer and the process takes only a few minutes total. I like how it adjusts itself as the room light changes. The USB cable is not really that long. Since I have an input on the side of my monitor, it's not an issue. If you have an older monitor and you don't have a USB input, you will most definitely need to buy an extension.

After you view you color-corrected screen for several months, your eyes will become accustomed to it. Only then, when you switch back to your old calibration will you see how much of a difference the Huey PRO has made. When I turned the calibration off, my screen has a yellow tint. It's almost like they are two different LCD monitors--that's how much of a color difference there is.

The only issues I have encountered are that the suction cups on the unit only worked for one day, now I have to physically hold the unit on the screen for the 45 second screen calibration procedure. It's not a big deal. Also, I don't know if it is my computer or the software but sometimes I have issues with the software not loading up at startup and I have to manually start it. I think it's my computer though.

I am very happy with this product and it looks good too. You don't need to be a photographer or editor to use this, this will make viewing anything on your computer that much better. There are other products out there but I never bothered to compare any of them because this item worked very well for me.

Pantone huey Pro MEU113 Overview

It’s all about the color: Color in your photos. Color in your designs. And it all starts with accurate color on your screen. Photographers understand that a color-managed workflow is essential to obtain true color from capture, to edit, to print; but what you see on-screen is only as accurate as your display. Over time, the color performance of monitors changes – phosphors and liquid crystals fade, causing the display to drift into unknown colors. hueyPRO automatically brings back the true colors, so whether you are editing photos to print, sell or share with others, gaming or shopping on-line, you deserve to see the right color on your display. The hueyPRO delivers extensive controls in an affordable, easy-to-use solution designed to calibrate and profile all types of LCD and CRT displays. Each package includes an emission-only colorimeter with ambient measurement capabilities and intuitive software. Designed with the same advanced optical color sensors as the i1Display product family, hueyPRO’s optical sensors provide the same accurate on-screen color that used to only be available to professionals, PLUS automatically measures the ambient light within a room for precision calibration. Even after the calibration process, hueyPRO will observe the light falling on the display and apply your personal preferences for viewing accuracy, any time of day. hueyPRO INCLUDES hueyPRO colorimeter with USB power cord, hueyPRO device cradle, hueyPRO profiling software and Quick Start Guide. hueyPRO’s increased color accuracy combined with the ability to calibrate multiple monitors delivers the solution you need to accurately view your images. With its customizable white point and gamma combinations, enhanced LCD calibration and Advanced Help, the hueyPRO is the answer to your color needs.
