Pantone huey Monitor Color Correction-Calibrator

Others/Miscelleneous by SidneyWong @ 2007-11-11

We all perceive color differently. When you go over to the next cubical or office, you might notice the color display of your peers look different than yours. Which one of the monitors produces the more accurate colors? Maybe Pantone huey can help.

Closer look at the unit/Software

Closer Look:

This little device measures about 4" (10cm) in length and 0.5" in width connected to your PC via USB. It has three sensors and eight suction cups on one side; 4-LCD in red and three optical readers on the opposite side.

It comes with a holder/cradle so that you can place the unit next to your monitor when you want it to monitor and adjust the setting automatically and continuously based on the changing color temperature changes in the room.

There is an USB extension cable provided in case the PC is placed a bit farther from the monitor. Without the extension the USB cable measures about 31" (77 cm), the externsion is about 46" (165cm). So, you have roughly 97" cable length in total.

The suction cups are to hold the "huey" onto the screen and the sensors facing the screen.

Installing the software is straight forware, and takes a couple of minutes; the application size is about 17MB. Please note the orientation of the "huey" placement onto the stand. The LCD should be facing down otherwise the sensors behind will be blocked.

Good comparison with the pictures, it pretty much explains why 70$ isn't much more to pay when you buy a 600$ or more Display.

It is even a better investment if you have more than one display at your household.
