Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Combination of tweaking and proofing might be eluding you simply because the color on your monitor is not accurate. The fact is, all monitors (yes, both new and old) display color differently. The only way to address this is by calibrating and profiling your monitor. Eye-One Display 2 is a professional monitor-calibration tool that lets you achieve accurate color on all types of displays--including LCDs, CRTs, and laptops. With its advanced controls, you can achieve the best possible match across multiple monitors, optimize gray balance for more neutral and better-defined grays, and even check ambient light to determine optimal room lighting for color-critical work. Eye-One Display 2 saves time and rework so your creative inspirations can be more easily realized. Designed to meet the needs of creative professionals and discerning digital-imaging enthusiasts, Eye-One Display LT ensures reliable and accurate color onscreen. With the easy-to-use software wizard, you'll achieve consistent, predictable color on all types of monitors--LCD, CRT, and laptops--with a few simple clicks.

Each individual package includes an Eye-One Display measurement device (emission only colorimeter) with ambient measurement head; Eye-One Match 3.0 software for monitors; Eye-One Share software for creating, evaluating, and communicating color; interactive training modules; and a digital Pantone library.

This colorimeter is well-respected by photographers for good reason. In easy mode, it is pretty fast and you don't have to do anything but click 'next' it does all the work. In advanced mode, you can can drive your self silly with all the options.
They are always making the software better, so its a good idea to check for updates of the software.

Pros:
Easy to use.

Cons:
not the best instructions

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting colors right for photo editing, January 10, 2007

Great product, and great price at amazon! I live in Malaysia, where the local price is 250% of Amazon's list price. For USD9$ (shipment) I had it delivered in Singapore in just a few days, and picked it up at my friend's place. First thing that came out when I plugged it in, was that my old monitor had lived its useful life. Althought the colors were still correct(able), the overall luminosity was so low that I could only work in a dark room to view the full scale. I bought a new LCD monitor, calibrated and profiled it in a few minutes (it wasn't quite right straight out of the box - too bright), and now all my pictures come out beautifully! I can display 256 shades of grey distinctively, which was previously impossible. It's not just photos, even the dull windows interface suddenly comes to life. Highly recommended to anyone with a DSLR and a desire to spend more than 5 minutes improving their pictures on photoshop.

I am a retired engineer that used to design color measuring equipment and worked for MacBeth briefly in the 1960's. I can say that this is a great little colorimeter and I recommend it highly.
The only negative is that the instructions are a little vague in places.
