Best calibrator hands down.
5 Stars
Best calibrator hands down.
I tried both the Eye One LT and the Huey Pro before buying the i1 display 2. This is an expensive product, but is reliable, strong and powerful. It uses a lot of color patches to calibrate (the more the better), it allows for precise pre-calibration (adjusting the brightness, contrast and RGB output of the monitor before the actual calibration) so you get better results. The main (and probably only) difference between the LT and 2 versions is the ability to use it in more than one monitor. You can always upgrade the LT for $99 and it will perform as the v2.Just remember to keep it clean, I store it in a $1 sterilite container.The RGB precalibration is not an easy thing to do and not all monitors allow for RGB controls. But in case yours do, always adjust the channel with the biggest deviation first and then adjust the next worst ans so long.
