I used the Huey Pro for several years.  It's quick, easy, somewhat configurable, and MUCH better than nothing.  I got my laptop screen to match my 24in monitor at work with 2 tries.  The main drawbacks are that one can't use it to set luminance, there is some inconsistency from one calibration

The Colormunki is a bit expensive, but it can also do your printer profiles. It can also do projectors. Our club has one and it works very well. I've heard they have a newer, less expensive, model that only does displays. George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net

I've done fine with a Spyder 2 Express, the bargain version of the Spyder line. I believe Spyder 3 Express is the current version. It has limitations, but it can match the color cast of my monitor to my printer with precision. I adjust the luminance based on a grayscale and the printer output.

Still have my copy of Spyder I. Even thought it was not supposed to work on my iMac 21.5 i seemed to remember a download from the net to look after that issue, and i managed to get a monitor calibrate. Probably should upgrade now anyway. Dave On Sun, Feb 5, 2012 at 12:27 AM, Adam Montoya

It appears to be spot on for the light on my monitor. It's definitely trending toward green. It might be a hair toward the blue and magenta side of things -- really just a hair -- but that would be right for the open shade light. Paul On Feb 5, 2012, at 10:22 AM, mike wilson wrote: On
