    Talking pantone huey vs spyder Express

    pantone huey vs spyder 2 Express cost about the same

    pantone huey has ambient and takes 1min
    spyder 2 Express doesn't and takes 7min

    reviews don't say much, but somehow advise spyder 2 Express over pantone huey. Why?
    And also what's the diff, pantone huey and pantone huey pro?
    just the software?

    FWIW.....I have a Huey, Works....Ok............

    But I got my rig professionally calibrated, the dude used a Spyder Pro.

    Probably doesn't help answer your question, but I think you get what you pay for.......

    Got the huey, works great. 3 LCDs now matching. For the price it does what I need. When I go pro, I'll buy a pro thing.

    Had the Huey didn't think it was professional enough, now have the Spyder 3 Pro. A little difference but not worth the extra I reakon.

    Have seen a few mobile computer repair businesses around lately, anybody used someone like this to calibrate their monitors from time to time.....and wonder how the price of a twice yearly calibration by a computer pro compared to purchase of your own calibration gizmo would go ?

    How much is a spyder these days Col? vs how much for the pro?
    I reckon they are worth every penny, finally got some pro lab prints back today and they are spot on. Yay!!!! I have the spyder 3pro, really easy to use.
    Cheers, Lani.

    The main advantage of your own is dealing with ambient light changes.

    Where your computer is the light varies during the day and has artificial light at night.

    Any unit with ambient light adjustment that is connected all the time gives you near constant colour and brightness.

    Do the mobile repair people do calibration? - the ones I know mainly do hardware fix/upgrade and virus removal.
