With Eye-One Display LT, you can achieve accurate onscreen color just like the pros without having to become a pro to understand the software. Eye-One Display LT calibrates your monitor and adjusts the color onscreen, so your images remain true. Your work now speaks for itself, no excuses for the monitor necessary. Eye-One Display LT is an easy-to-use monitor calibration tool designed to meet the needs of photographers and designers, as well as discerning digital imaging enthusiasts, And, if you later decide you want more advanced functionality, you can easily upgrade your system to the Eye-One Display 2, the award-winning professional monitor calibration tool preferred by professional photographers and designers. All you'll need to do is upgrade your software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as Advertised, May 28, 2009

This review is from: X-Rite Eye-One Display LT, Accurate Monitor Calibration for the Cost Conscious Pro (Electronics)

Used this device to calibrate a Dell LCD monitor. The unit comes with a DVD instructional video which explains step by step how to calibrate your monitor. The DVD needs to be updated to reflect the newer model ,however as there is an unnecessary step in on the DVD that may lead to confusion (you do not have to place the Eye-One on a black surface to calibrate it). I emailed tech support on this and they promptly emailed back a satisfactory answer to my question. You can also use this on as many monitors as you like. The whole process takes about 15 minutes (but warm up your monitor for 30 minutes prior).

This unit and its brothers are the standard for calibration. Do a search on the internet and you can confirm this. I have also seen the Eye One used to calibrate an LCD HDTV, but have not tried this myself.

My photographs when printed professionally seem very consistent to what I see on my monitor. I could not be assured of this before calibration.

Good product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eye One Display 2, June 21, 2008

Very easy to use profiler for my Windows XP machine, takes about 10 minutes to run through its auto process and your done. As a pro photographer, accurate color is critical to me. My LaCie 321 monitor was pretty close color wise but I noticed a gradual color shift over the last year so the Eye One gives me confidence that I'm not going to have color matching/ printing problems down the road.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vista-64 Driver hell. Throw Installation Disk in Trash, February 8, 2009

Step #1: Take a pair of pliers and twist the included installation disk until it breaks and then throw it in the trash. You will be far ahead if you do.
Step #2: Go to these web sites and download the latest software.

Step #3: Install the application software. Then make a subdirectory in the application folder called USB Drivers. Copy the drivers from the second link above into the USB driver folder.
Step #4. Plug your Light Sensor USB device into a spare USB port. Go to the control panel and click install hardware. Select the USB driver folder to pick the appropriate driver.
Step #5: Rename the stupid GretagMacbeth program startup folder to something logical like Eye-One Display.
Step #5: Restart your computer. That should do it.
