Never quite understand these products that some people just love and
some people just hate. It sounds like the Huey Pro allows you to
compensate for ambient light also.
Read the reviews. Most of them are pretty specific about what is

I wouldn't buy a Huey model. One of my clients had one and we had a

both situated in the same room. Switching it for my Eye One Display 2,
they matched on the first try.
