Pantone Monitor Auto Calibrate for $79

Ok I found it. Here is the post that details how to do it and below is the link to the actual thread.

Argh, sorry to hear that :(

If you hold down <- and + simultaneously when powering on, it should display the hidden factory info/settings (unless they've also changed that) - although I'm not sure if it will be of any use.

Apparently my LCD is a Samsung v1.8. (And apparently I've been using it for 4,714 hours)

I must be a total idiot but I can't figure this one out.... I got the Huey, I calibrated my monitor but I can't calibrate my 2nd monitor. the thingy works fine on monitor 1 but monitor 2 stays the same no matter what I do. I tried calibrating monitor 2 but it didn't work. all changes only effect monitor 1.

am I an idiot or is there something I don't know about the product (such as no dual monitor support).

a few people asked me this.. dont worry morten your not an idiot ha ha ha.

to do it, you need to change the master monitor to the 2nd monitor then do the calibration, then switch it back. if your using a mac you just drag the toolbar in the display options from one monitor to the next.
 
yeah... figured it out a few minutes after posting. there's this whole "patience" thing that people say I should work on. dunno what they're talking about.

Thanks for the tip tho. My screens look the same for the first time ever. and my colours are spot on.
 
I just received my unit and and not happy at all.

I calibrated and it gives everything a pink hue - not sure why.

Also - it doesnt work with avid - when avid video is playing is ignores the gamma settings of the huey but then settles back into them when you stop the video -

Im gonna futz a bit more but its looking grim
 
bump. just got this and it seems alright. some more info for everyone:

-diff between huey and huey pro is software, allows for multi-monitoring. though i guess u can do that too on the regular huey judging from OP

my LCD sucks at showing the blacks right though. There is a video I have that I meant for the background to be all black, so I crushed the levels. It showed all black on the LCD, then I checked it on other comps and it definitely wasn't all-black. My LCD doesn't show this right... Is there a better way to calibrate or is this just the limitation of the LCD (kind of big imo). It's a Dell 2001fp btw.

my CRT shows it fine, but I have other worries on that too... I think it's dying out (haven't used it in like 4 years, but on the factory settings the image looks all washed out. if i drop the brightness to like 12 then the blacks look black again, but the color isn't as good as my LCD. it's a Sony CPD-e440 for reference
